Mergers, Partnerships & Acquisitions

Recommended for organizational leaders & Board members

T3C may prompt your agency to thinking about forming formal partnerships, merging with another organization to expand your array of services, and possible acquiring an organization or program. If you are unsure where to start exploring and want to learn more about the “whys” and “”how” this training is for you.  The training will include information on various types of partnership and how they can be structured, how to start a conversation with a potential partner organization, and what a nonprofit should consider in terms of partnership development when facing organizational challenges that require hard decisions.
