This came in the clutch! I’m starting a non for profit and have no idea what I’m doing lol I am at this phase of starting it up & trying to choose who to collaborate with. This was helpful. I’ve been leaning on your vids tremendously. I love this.
Great information. Some of the organizations I work with can’t survive without formal partnerships. And, the one thing I’ve learned-I prefer warm introductions over cold. So, if I’m looking to partner with an organization, I really work my connections hard. Usually, about 40% to 50% of the time I can find a connection. Because, as you know, especially with for-profit organizations, often making first contact can be quite challenging. Great information, Amber!
When you have a partnership with a sports organization and a school or other non-profit. How should you account for numbers, meaning participants, who gets what funds. What is the best financial practices for this. Ty
Not all partnerships are financial ones, but in your example, I imagine you'd determine needs and costs for each organization then just agree together what is fair.
Sounds like the Big Bang roommate agreement. Do you think a clean sweep organization and a rescue mission...collaboration work? I want it to because of the possible partner, but fundamentally we have different goals. I want to save souls the other wants to take them. I guess the question is, can a tiger change their spots. Could a vegan cooking school and a grief recovery program work together? For instance how would a marriage work without such same expectations written or unwritten. I’m wrestling with wanting to partner with a wrong organization just because the chemistry of the leader and myself is magical. Do you see red flags, and am I past rational thinking thinking anyone can change. Thank you for your work, I am captivated by your content. Best nels
The missions of the two orgs don't have to be exactly the same for a great partnership. I know a technical college that partnered with a nonprofit restaurant in order to offer cooking classes to students - it was a great partnership!
Dear Amber, This is Fateh Alameri, Education Sub-National Cluster Coordinator from Yemen. Actually, what you are offering is highly great content. What do you think if we complement each other or collaborate by reflecting cases from Yemen. This is simply because Yemen is classified by UN as the worst humanitarian crisis in history and currently there are lots of experiences occurs in partnership. Looking forward to hearing from you. Fateh
Hi Bryan! Thanks for asking! I'm currently booked up on consultations right now, but my website (FounderToFullTime.com) has some trainings that may help, and of course, my other videos too!
I’m planning on creating a program with my cousin who has their own non-profit. My plan is to form my own non profit and partnering with my cousins non-profit for this program. Is there any suggestion for this?
I would say you would first start by inviting them for a conversation (vs send a proposal as your first action). If you get to the point where both organizations are willing to consider a partnership, you might write a Memorandum of Understanding / Agreement to outline the details of how you will partner.
Great Video Melanie ...my name is Magi Tambo from South Africa, I have just started a non profit organization and would like assistance on partnering with Corporates rather
