Collaboration
a directive nonprofits are increasingly under; a realistic and powerful approach
Funders tell us- your work is great, but we’d like to make a larger impact- can you collaborate with other community-based organizations?
Collaboration can be incredibly powerful, but program collaboration is challenging and expensive to administrate. We’ve got the administrative platform and the social capital that makes program collaboration possible.
With membership, you gain access to opportunities for joint fundraising and collaborative programming.
