Communications Toolkit for Guides Supporting Partnerships Between Nonprofits and Banks

The ABA Foundation empowers banks to be catalysts for positive change in the neighborhoods they serve.

The Power of Collaboration: A Guide for Nonprofits to Partner with Banks and The Power of Collaboration 2.0: Steps for Nonprofits to Build and Sustain Partnerships with Banks are part of the Foundation's efforts to foster trust and collaboration between banks and nonprofit organizations. Together, these resources help community organizations understand how to pursue strategic partnerships with banks and unlock valuable support to advance their missions.

This communications toolkit provides talking points and customizable sample text to help banks and state bankers associations share these guides with nonprofit organizations. Banks can use these assets to raise awareness, foster engagement, and promote both foundational knowledge and step-by-step guidance - ultimately helping build partnerships that expand economic opportunity for all.
