Corporate Partnerships That Scale - How Nonprofits Win (and Prove) Big Impact in 2026

​Corporate dollars are there, but they’re choosy. Exec teams want evidence, finance wants clean reporting, and brand teams want stories that stand up to scrutiny. Join 4ocean’s Alex Schulze and Ecodrive’s Blake Ruschman for a fast, no-fluff session on how nonprofits can build, scale, and retain corporate partnerships — and prove impact with audit-ready evidence every quarter, not just year-end.

​We’ll dig into what corporates actually need to green-light (and renew) funding, how to package your programs for scale, and how platforms like ImpactIQ enable trackable, evidence-backed outcomes that make renewals a layup.

​What you’ll learn:

• ​Land & expand playbook: What corporate partners look for, who signs off, and how to structure pilots that grow into national programs.

• ​Proof beats promises: How to quantify impact with verifiable evidence (not PDFs) that finance, ESG, and brand teams will trust.

• ​Operationalize at scale: Standardize intake, tracking, and reporting so you can run multiple partnerships without burning out your team.

• ​Renewals on autopilot: Turn outcome dashboards into quarterly business reviews that secure multi-year commitments.

​Speakers:

• ​Alex Schulze — Co-Founder & CEO, 4ocean

• ​Blake Ruschman — Founder & CEO, Ecodrive

​If you’re an Executive Director, Head of Corporate Partnerships/Fundraising, Foundation lead, or nonprofit CEO, this session gives you the modern corporate-funding blueprint: win bigger deals, prove real impact, and make renewals the default. Register now.
