Partner with us
Our collaborative network of partners are key to Benefolk's success in the social sector...
For the last six years, we have collaborated with more than 30 peak bodies, member-based organisations, fellow intermediaries, government, corporate and philanthropic trusts and foundations.
Some of our partnerships have enabled us to address gaps in the sector – such as The Community Well resource hub, Expert Bar online consultations, free Video Library service, and prepaid professional services, and the RESET 2020 research study.
Our significant reach and impact – 500+ organisations finding the right professional services and more than 15,000 finding the right free or low-cost resource – is enabled by our collaborative partnership approach.
Benefolk's extensive vetting and selection process for our consultant and professional service partners, as well as our team's deep social sector expertise – also sets us apart as a trusted patner to support you and your important stakeholders.
"With a mission to support and bolster the Australian not-for-profit sector, Benefolk has provided great support and care for our members and their needs with professionalism and passion. FIA is excited for continuing the partnership with Benefolk in assisting all Australian NFPs to have strong, sustainable and best-practice revenue streams."

How our partnerships work
We have a number of entry points and types of engagement, designed to suit the range of needs and contexts of those in our networks.
Referral partner - whether it’s support for your grantees or members, we have a robust process to triage an organisation’s needs and connect them to the right service, support or resource.
Supplier panels - building a specialised supplier panel tailored to your not-for-profit, charity or social enterprise sector is easy with our Concierge and Network of experienced, carefully vetted service providers.
Friend of Benefolk - we believe in shared prosperity and have an affiliate program that supports those who support Benefolk’s big vision. Find out more about our affiliate referral program.
Capacity building programs – Running or starting a capacity building program as a grantmaker or intermediary? We can share our expertise on capacity building and/or help with expertise and resources for your program.
Buy vouchers for your grantees / members – We work with grantmakers who wish to prepay for professional services, and/or access to Benefolk low-cost resource hubs (Expert Bar, online courses, webinars etc).
Grantmaker distribution partner – Many grantmakers are now looking at how they can best provide capacity-building grants and through our sister charity Benefolk Foundation, we have helped distribute grants to supplier panels to expedite the process and provide additional governance support.
"As a grantmaker, sometimes we need to provide more than just a grant. We engaged Benefolk as a part of a holistic support package for a key stakeholder. They took time to understand the context to find the right team to provide support and delivered a great outcome."
Jo Curtin, CEO, Community Broadcasting Foundation
