Cause marketing, as defined by cause marketing expert Joe Waters, is a partnership between a nonprofit and a for-profit for mutual profit. Joe is my guest this week, and he sheds light on the many definitions and facets of cause marketing as well as specific ways that nonprofits can build their cause marketing program and create partnerships that prospects can’t wait to get involved in.
Joe helps nonprofits and businesses build win-win partnerships that raise money and change the world. He’s been writing his popular partnership blog, Selfish Giving, since 2005. He’s also written two books, one on cause marketing, the other on corporate partnerships.
Joe's email newsletter is a must-read for the sector, and you can sign up here: https://www.selfishgiving.com/
Here are some of the topics we discussed:

• How to identify cause marketing opportunities and capitalize on them
• What are the many ways nonprofits can raise money with corporate partnerships
• What corporate sponsors really want (and how to convey that to them)
• How cause marketing has changed due to generational shifts
