Nonprofit Leadership Choice Point: Alliances

This post is part of our “Nonprofit Strategy Now” series: reflections on nonprofit strategy development in 2020 by Jenny Kramm, Collectivity Senior Consultant, see original post here

What follows are five key choice points that you may be encountering as a nonprofit organization today making strategic choices.  

Choice Point 4: Alliances 

We've been through a lot of uncertainty, and one could assume there will be more. Do enduring strategic alliances between your nonprofit and others offer up more possibilities than if you were to tackle these challenges the way you have before? 

A collaboration of capacity-builders have developed “The Power of Possibility”: a structured toolkit to help you and your board explore alliances as a strategy for your mission. 

Exploring these durable, structural strategic alliances are better before there is an emergency. However, sometimes formally aligning your organization’s program with another organization’s umbrella can be a strategy to save programs that have value that otherwise might need to close. 

Is this a discussion you’d like to explore with Collectivity’s help?

We facilitate board, staff, and smaller group strategic discussion virtually and in person. Contact us to get the conversation started.
