Who should do the asking?
Often having the right person ask on your behalf will trump any other aspect of your partnership proposal. One of the best ways to secure a corporate contribution is to have a peer of the business leader ask on behalf of the library. This can circumvent any formal process, or at the very least get your foot in the door. However, it can also backfire. If donations officers inside bigger companies tell you to abide by the formal application process, respect that! It is always a good strategy to cultivate relationships with business leaders in your community, either individually as board members or on an advisory committee, or through service clubs and chamber of commerce associations. This can help ease the process of applying for support from local businesses, especially if they are aware that you will be submitting something for consideration.
