Topic: Collaborating for Nonprofit Sustainability

Many nonprofits today are looking for ways to work with others to save money, increase effectiveness and extend their reach. Whether these are formal or informal arrangements, it's important they meet the needs of all organizations involved.

Our panel of nonprofit professionals will present current national efforts on identifying multiple types of collaborations and alliances and will provide examples of how strategic collaboration has been used locally as a strategy for increasing impact and building long-term sustainability.  We will have a discussion on how, as a local community of nonprofit organizations, we can potentially leverage the talents and resources of nonprofits so they can increase their effectiveness in an increasingly competitive marketplace.

 
Barbara Hubbell (United Way of the Southern Tier), Dave Hill (ProAction of Steuben & Yates, Inc.), Patrick Rogers and Kevin Williams (Institute for Human Services, Inc.) will share their insight and research for what works best and how to move beyond "working together" into strategic collaboration that maximizes nonprofit impact and service delivery.
