Robin Hood Partnerships
Robin Hood Partnerships is a funding model for the registered charity Robin Hood Ministries.
Robin Hood Partnerships is a Business Partnership Scheme that works with UK Organisations so that they can support poverty reduction and improve their own organisation at the same time, for example in the areas of team building, public relations, promotions, marketing, staff morale and productivity.
There are three categories of Business Partners within the scheme depending on level of involvement and contribution. These are defined as:
Key Sponsors: A Key Sponsor is an organisation that has a purely financial relationship with Robin Hood and is based on donations in excess of £1000 per financial year.
Service Provider: A Service Provider is an organisation that offers their services and skills to Robin Hood on a voluntary basis at an agreed minimum level per financial year.
Integrated Partner: This is the type of Partnership that Robin Hood would encourage all it’s partners to aspire to. As a Fully Integrated Partner an organisation would work with Robin Hood in a variety of ways and on a number of initiatives on an ongoing basis. It is the aim that both members of the partnership share a common understanding and commitment to equity, transparency and mutual benefit.
A number of benefits are available to each partner, as defined in the full definitions for each category.

A Partnership is two organisations working towards a commonly agreed goal, with three key principles:
- Mutual Benefit: Both partners will bring skills and experience to the project and are entitled to benefit from the partnership;
- Equity: Both organisations have a right to be at the table and all contributions are valuable, whether monetary or otherwise;
- Transparency: Openness and honesty in the working relationship of the two organisations
