Investing in Nonprofit Mergers, Acquisitions, and Other Models: What is the True Cost?

A year and a half into the pandemic, funders are continuing to explore ways to better support the nonprofit sector. In this virtual conversation, join our panelists as we discuss how to focus on supporting nonprofits in their decisions to transition to an alternative operating model (mergers, acquisitions, sharing back office support, etc.).

• Practices funders could adopt to support nonprofits interested in exploring, planning, and launching healthy collaborations
• The nonprofit perspective on how and what they have prioritized in terms of time and resources from the exploratory phase to the implementation phase
• What nonprofits really need from funders to explore these structural shifts, and how funders can adopt practices for prioritizing both culture and logistics
