  Inspirational partnerships are joint ventures that bring together the talents and skills of diverse individuals or groups to benefit communities and society. When such partnerships succeed, the beneficiaries or partners may want to honor success with gifts of gratitude. The right inspirational gift serves as a reminder of shared dedication and goals. An appropriate inspirational partnership affirms core philosophies of dynamic leadership, innovative thinking and commitment to the greater good of society.
  
  

Gift of Art

• Give a gift of art to a museum partnertship.louvre image by yam from Fotolia.com
  
  Inspirational partnership gifts reflect the success of an alliance. If, for example, museums collaborate to promote and enhance online learning for students and teachers, as described on the British website Culture 24, beneficiaries could give an artistic gift. Students and teachers might conduct a digital media art competition, with the top three winners offering their work to display on each participating museum's website.
  
  

Gift from Students

• Schools often encourage students to participate in community service activities. Students learn about issues confronting the cities where they live and the value of generosity of spirit. When, for example, a school partners with a local homeless initiative program, students can reap an increased sense of commitment to those less fortunate. After a successful experience of serving in a soup kitchen, students might offer the homeless program a night of student appreciation. Invite the program members to the school to present the organization with an engraved plaque. Students, teachers and administration representatives can speak about the value of their experiences and their gratitude for the opportunity to reach out to the community.
  
  

Gift for Green Businesses

• Honor a green partner with a commemorative bench.park bench in the hyde park image by Martin N from Fotolia.com
  
  A business sometimes partners with a local, regional or national conservation group to lead initiatives for habitat preservation or other environmental efforts. A group that works to conserve open spaces may wish to express appreciation to that business for its support and conservation leadership in the business community. The conservation group could place a bench with a plaque engraved with the name of the business and its contribution in a local open space park.
