Program Schedule(PDF 21 KB)
In a resource constrained environment, nonprofits increasingly
are employing cooperative agreements to further their mission
and better meet social needs. Nonprofit leaders and funders
must think creatively and strategically about how best to
leverage resources with others to add value through alliances.
In where sectoral lines cross one another, partnering occurs
within and between sectors taking many forms and unique characteristics.
The course deals with how nonprofits can better partner with
each other and particularly where nonprofits and businesses
both succeed through strategic partnering. Much attention
is given to alliance success and failure and how to negotiate
and manage alliances.
