How to Position Your Organization for CRA &amp; Bank Partnerships

Have you ever reached out to a bank for sponsorship or partnership support… and never heard back?

You’re not alone.

Many business owners, nonprofit leaders, ministry leaders, and community organizers experience the same frustration—submitting letters, proposals, and requests only to receive silence or rejection. The truth is, it’s not that banks don’t care. Often, organizations simply aren’t positioned in the way banks need in order to respond.

This half-day certification workshop was created to remove the confusion and discouragement around bank partnerships and CRA funding—and to give you a clear, proven strategy to move forward with confidence.

? What You’ll Learn

✔ What the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) is and why banks need community partners
✔ What banks look for when considering sponsorships and partnerships
✔ How to present your programs in CRA-aligned, bank-approved language
✔ How to create a CRA-Ready Funding Portfolio
✔ How to connect with the right people inside the bank
✔ The do’s and don’ts of outreach that gets responses

? Who This Workshop Is For

Nonprofit founders • Ministries &amp; faith-based programs • Chambers of commerce • Workforce development organizations • Community initiatives • Entrepreneurs serving low-to-moderate income communities

If you’ve ever felt overlooked, unsure, or discouraged about approaching banks, this workshop is for you.
