How it works
From a match to a written agreement
Most tools stop at introductions. PartnerPortal takes you from finding an organization whose needs line up with yours through to a summary both sides have actually agreed to.
A matching network for nonprofits, community groups and small businesses — trade what you have for what you need, and write the exchange down.
Most partnerships fall apart because one side is doing a favor. PartnerPortal matches organizations on both what they need and what they can offer — so both sides walk in with something to gain.
Built from both ends
Most tools stop at introductions. PartnerPortal takes you from finding an organization whose needs line up with yours through to a summary both sides have actually agreed to.
Every organization is scored on what it offers you and what you offer it. Mutual matches rank above one-sided ones.
Both sides pick from the same 33 categories, so a match is a real overlap rather than two descriptions that happen to share a word.
Propose what each side will provide. Once both confirm, you get a summary page you can send to a board or a funder.
A partnership where only one side gains is a favor, and favors run out. Matching on both directions is the whole design, from the categories an organization picks during onboarding through to the terms of the final agreement.
Set up your profileA nonprofit with a hall standing empty and no one to run its outreach. A studio down the road with time to donate and no cause to donate it to. They rarely find each other, and when they do it is usually by accident.
Setting up a profile takes a few minutes. You will see your matches, and the reasons behind each one, straight afterward.
