Enhance donor outreach today
We specialize in helping nonprofits amplify their mission by building meaningful relationships with corporate donors on LinkedIn & Email. Through targeted outreach and strategic messaging, we bridge the gap between organizations and businesses eager to make an impact. Let us help you unlock new opportunities, grow your network, and secure the support you need to drive your cause forward.
Prospect list curation
We identify the CSR, corporate giving, and community relations leaders whose priorities line up with your mission, rather than casting a wide net.
Drip campaigns
Personalised LinkedIn and email sequences introduce your work and open the door to conversations about partnership, volunteering, and giving.
LinkedIn profile optimization
We sharpen your organisation’s presence, including your executive director’s, so your impact and credibility are clear to anyone who looks.
Retargeting and content
We stay visible with people who have already shown interest, supported by content that puts your impact in front of them again.
We shortlist on alignment, not volume
Plenty of companies in your region have money set aside for community work. Far fewer have priorities that line up with your cause. We start from the giving priorities a company has already stated, shortlist the ones that match your mission, and open the conversation there. It is the difference between a cold ask and a conversation someone was already half-expecting to have.
Who we reach
CSR and social impact leads
They own the corporate giving budget and are measured on community outcomes, so a partnership that produces a real story is worth their time.
Corporate giving and community relations managers
They run the sponsorship and donation programmes day to day, and are usually the ones who decide which organisations make the shortlist.
Grant writers and foundation program officers
They sit on the funding side and put causes forward. Knowing you before a cycle opens matters more than the application itself.
Corporate gifting decision-makers
They control in-kind product, matching gift, and gifting budgets, which are often easier to unlock than a cash donation.
ESG and sustainability leads
They need credible community partners to point at in reporting, and that need is growing every year.
Employee engagement managers
They buy volunteering days and team partnerships, which is frequently the first step toward a longer funding relationship.
Reaching CSR decision-makers across San Diego
Startup Sales Shop helped San Diego Parks Foundation expand its corporate giving and sponsorship network during a critical time of funding uncertainty. By implementing a targeted outreach strategy focused on CSR, corporate giving, and community engagement leaders across San Diego and Southern California, we sparked 100+ new conversations and increased engagement with local business decision-makers. This modern approach opened doors to meaningful relationship-building with organizations like Frontwave Arena and AXOS Bank — positioning SDPF for continued corporate partnership growth in 2026 and beyond.
Growing volunteer & community engagement
Startup Sales Shop supported Sister League of San Diego Housing in growing both its volunteer engagement and awareness among corporate and community leaders. Through targeted outreach, curated prospecting, and personalized LinkedIn and email campaigns, we cultivated 100+ new conversations and helped SLSD expand its community network and recognition.

Common questions
How long before we see something?
Both nonprofits we’ve worked with saw 100+ new conversations within four to five months. Relationships with corporate partners take longer to turn into funding, but the conversations start early.
Is this fundraising or marketing?
Neither, exactly. It’s prospecting: finding the companies whose giving priorities match your mission and opening a conversation with the person who decides.
How do you decide which companies to approach?
We start from what a company has already said it cares about -- its stated giving priorities, its CSR reporting, the causes it has backed before -- and shortlist the ones that overlap with your mission. Alignment first, then outreach.
Do you help with grants?
Not the writing. What we do is get you in front of the grant writers and program officers who put causes forward, so that when a cycle opens your organisation is already a name they know.
Do we need a large following?
No. The outreach goes to a curated list rather than an audience, so it works from wherever your presence is today.
What do you need from us?
A clear sense of the partners you want, access to the profiles we’ll be sharpening, and someone to carry the conversations we start.
