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.
