Using Strategic Alliances to open new doors
 

Strategic alliances and partnerships provide many benefits to nonprofits. By combining forces and eliminating duplication of mission and services, nonprofit organizations can often increase their social impact.  Funders often also look to see if organizations are teaming up instead of competing with each other. However, many nonprofit organizations find themselves uncertain not only of exactly what a partnership will entail for their organization, but how to go about building the partnership in a way that best serves their needs.

This Session will explore:
-How to know if a Strategic Alliance will benefit your organization
-The different kinds of alliances and partnerships and how nonprofits can benefit from them
- A step by step guide to setting up a partnership
-Identifying suitable partners
- Common mistakes to avoid with your strategic partner
- How to evaluate whether your alliance is producing a return on investment

You will leave this session with a full understanding of how and why a strategic alliance can benefit your organization, and the best ways to set one up.
 
This session is intended for Board Members, Executive Level Staff and Senior Development and Corporate Relations Staff.
