Our Partners

We have a series of partnership packages that can be adapted depending on partner needs.

The length of the partnership is flexible, usually with a minimum length of 6-months and no maximum length, with the flexibility of renewing agreements

A financial contribution is required, varying depending on the scope of the partnership. Given that 180DC is an NGO, the contribution goes towards the running of operations and branch support.

The partnership agreement includes the partnership objectives, the parties’ responsibilities, partnership length, financial contribution, and any other specific details of the partnership

The document signed is a Memorandum of Understand which isn’t legally binding. The purpose of the agreement is to set expectations to ensure the partnership adds value to all parties involved.

Marketing initiatives involve sharing of social media posts on both the 180DC global handles and local branch’s individual accounts, Partner’s logos listed on the 180DC website and Annual Impact Reports, and many more, tailored to the Partner. The Partner is also expected to list 180DC as their Partner, on all applicable platforms subject to the agreement.

Mentorship is provided by cycles, which are usually defined by university semesters. The partner works directly with a specific branch for the duration of the cycle, communicating with the branch both via email and call. Partners can mentor more than one project per cycle, and this can be with the same branch or a series of different branches.

Partners have an input on which branches they can work with, by expressing interest on specific regions or even on a single branch, which are then taken into consideration during branch allocation.
