Company Charity Instead of a Party

Stop thinking of just getting money from a company. Stress a way for the company to have its employees to do volunteer work for your nonprofit and get paid by the company to do it. Have a list of projects that a company can work on and see completed. Satisfaction will always bring people back for more and they just might bring more friends or be a great source for referring more companies to you.
The charity work alternative to a party does not have to be centered around the holidays. It might be during a slow time for the company or a specific day that represents something to the company. It just might be a great tool for the company promoting itself in the community it serves.
Building these relationships takes time, but that slow building ultimately will bring the organization across the finish line a winner every time. Consistency pays out.
