Strategic collaborations, joint programming, and mergers are becoming more and more important to the nonprofit sector every day and understanding your options for working collaboratively to achieve mission-critical impact is a must for today’s nonprofit leaders.

 

This new free class, developed in partnership with La Piana Consulting <http://www.lapiana.org/> , will walk you through the basics of collaboration and provide you with:

*	an understanding of why nonprofits are choosing collaboration
*	knowledge on the range of collaboration options available
*	a framework for the basic process steps in forging successful collaborative relationships
*	action steps for further exploration
*	access to model collaborations

 

Including an introduction to the Nonprofit Collaboration Database <http://collaboration.foundationcenter.org/search/searchGenerator.php> , this premiere presentation of Understanding Collaboration will feature tools that can put your organization on the path to successful collaborative partnerships. A discussion panel made up of distinguished guests who will answer your question about nonprofit partnerships will follow the class.
