Collaborating with WIFS – transparent guidelines, shared impact

Dear potential partner,

WIFS (Women in Financial Services) is an independent association committed to diversity, equality and inclusiveness within the financial sector. We aim for a future where the financial sector is as diverse and inclusive as our society.

We run entirely on volunteers. The board consists of professionals with busy jobs or businesses, who selflessly dedicate themselves to the mission of WIFS in addition to their work. Our members also contribute to this network through a purposefully low membership fee.

We believe in the strength of collaboration, given that the values are shared and the commitment is mutual. Therefore, we are happy to engage with organizations - both profit and non-profit - that support our mission.

What we are able to offer
WIFS offers its partners visibility within a growing and engaged network of members and followers. This is possible through:

• A page on the WIFS website (www.wifs.nl)
• 1x a year in the WIFS newsletter
• 2x a post on LinkedIn (with +/- 3,000 followers)
• In joint agreement and suited to the event: substantive contribution
• In joint agreement a contribution from WIFS to the initiative (e.g. by having a board member speak about the mission of WIFS)

What we can't offer
WIFS does not have the capacity to lead or manage co-creation projects. Past experience has taught us that this often requires more than we can offer as a volunteer organization.

Collaboration Conditions
In order to ensure that the collaboration is transparent for all parties, we maintain the following conditions:

1. The partner (person or organization) is a member of WIFS
2. For commercial results via WIFS channels (such as registrations or assignments) we charge a fee of at least 5%
3. Propositions offered to our members are reviewed ahead of time by the board
4. No claims on exclusivity can be made; per subject (such as recruitment, training or personal development) several partners can be active
5. Only when there is sufficient added value and involvement may a partner profile itself at our events (e.g. with a stand, speaker or sponsor)
6. You must provide the input for the web page, newsletter and LinkedIn messages yourself (text and image). We gladly support you with an extensive manual filled with tips on the customer journey and guidelines for suitable content
7. We evaluate the partnership annually or earlier if necessary

We value clear agreements in advance and lasting relationships based on shared values . If your organization aligns with this, we are open to converse about the possibilities. Interested to receive futher information or would you like to get in touch? Please send an email to info@wifs.nl
