Collaboration with external partners is often mentioned as a top priority to enable nonprofits to more effectively and efficiently advance their missions. Collaborations may take on many different forms: from informal understandings between organizations regarding the sharing of information to formalized affiliation agreements creating regional chapters, and from joint ventures between nonprofit and for-profit organizations to mergers between two or more nonprofits. We help nonprofits understand the appropriate due diligence they should conduct before entering into a collaborative relationship, draft appropriate written agreements (with terms and provisions to ensure compliance and risk management), and work with organizational leaders to ensure they have a strong understanding of the nature of the transaction and potential alternatives.
