Could your organization advance its mission more effectively by partnering with others?
Nonprofits often form relationships with one another to advance a common purpose and serve shared communities. These strategic alliances range from casual coordination to formal collaboration to consolidation. When approached thoughtfully, alliances can help organizations expand reach, strengthen resources, and increase community impact, as well as protect vital services or transfer them responsibly.

In each case, there is an opportunity to create a true win-win-win: delivering value for each organization involved and greater impact for the communities they serve. Join strategic partnership expert Anne Yurasek for this discussion with nonprofit leaders evaluating strategic options to expand impact, strengthen capacity, and build long-term resilience. In this session, you’ll explore:

> Clarifying your why for pursuing a partnership

> Taking stock of your current condition

> Understanding alliance options and when each makes sense

> Preparing your leadership team and board to partner effectively
