During times of great uncertainty, it’s natural for nonprofits to seek out efficiencies – particularly in the form of organizational partnerships. In this Learning Lab, we will explore two types of nonprofit partnerships; the Collective Impact Model and shared staffing collaborations. Whether you are looking to increase your demonstrated impact by aligning your evaluation metrics with like-mission organizations or offload administrative tasks from your program staff, the practices in this Learning Lab will help you build capacity and productivity with organizations with a common agenda.
In this session we will discuss:
- Five conditions for success in building nonprofit partnerships for collaborative impact
- Practical steps you can take to select an appropriate partner for your mission and needs during times of uncertainty
- A case study of ArtCore – a nonprofit shared staffing collaboration
- How shared staffing and back office support can promote cost savings and less “job suck” for organizations
- Partnerships as a reliable way to continue critical work during the COVID-19 pandemic
