Guiding Practices for Nonprofits
- Nonprofits should consider forming strategic partnerships with other organizations around relevant policy issues.
- Nonprofits should maintain an awareness of developments, changes and current trends at the local, state and federal levels and assess opportunities for joint action with other organizations.
- Nonprofits should be clear that the partnership and associated activities are in alignment with its mission.
- Nonprofits should determine if there is mutual trust, an ability to regularly communicate, and a shared commitment to goals, objectives and activities.
- Nonprofits should engage in smaller collaborative projects prior to working on a larger initiative in order gauge the viability of the partnership.
