"A partnership or merger should never be executed solely because of any of the following reasons: -an agency wants to meet the demands of a single funder or funding stream;  -an executive director wants to arrange it (along with his/her future role in the merged organization) without board involvement; or  -two board chairs, as good friends, discussed it and thought it should happen without discussing the idea with other board members or staff." Erik Speakman shares how to explore, prepare and begin a successful strategic partnership/merger post-pandemic. #nonprofit #nonprofitstrategy

Nearly 20 years ago, when I first drafted this white paper, I was concerned about the sustainability of nonprofits with the vast increase in the number of nonprofits and clients in need from a decrease in government services without a corresponding increase in funding and resources.  Who knew that those challenges would pale in comparison to what nonprofit executives are facing today? With the nonprofit fiscal challenge upon us now, community leaders need to focus on their core strengths and their competitive advantage and explore more creative partnerships, potentially mergers. We hope this white paper on preparing for one is helpful.
