Nonprofits are often encouraged to partner, collaborate and even merge. But what, exactly, does it mean to partner? From informal agreements to formal partnerships supported by MOU’s, this FIRM alumni session will explore the continuum of partnership arrangements and answer questions such as:

  • When does it make sense to partner?
  • What should be included in a partnership agreement or MOU?
  • What are the pros and cons of partnerships? How do you know if a merger makes sense?
  • How can funders support successful arrangements between nonprofits?

We’ll look at the various structures of partnerships, consider the funder perspective, and present some real life examples of successful partnerships and mergers.

Bring clients, board members and staff to the Council Office Building at 8:30 a.m. on Monday, April 24 for a rally to preserve our social safety net!

The County Executive’s budget includes a 1% cut for many HHS contracts, which will restrict services for some of our most vulnerable neighbors in the county, and make it harder for nonprofits to survive.

From shifts in immigration, to regulatory changes for benefits programs, to the possible repeal of the ACA, we face a number of unprecedented and unpredictable challenges. The purpose of this event is for local officials and nonprofit and community leaders to arrive at a common understanding of how we will respond nimbly and strategically to these challenges to our shared values.

The action plans that result from this conversation will harness the collective power of nonprofit organizations and local institutions to face an uncertain future.
