Development of Sustainable Relationships:

In today’s highly competitive funding environment, and with the tremendous social impact that non-profit organizations seek to accomplish, more than ever it is necessary to develop relationships with key stakeholders that have complementary missions.  Whether with funders, academic institutions, government agencies, the community under which they operate or other non-profits, the key to successful relationships lies in leveraging resources to increase the impact of the mission for all parties involved.  The development of sustainable relationships provides non-profit organizations with a compatibility analysis with other organizations with comparable mission, as well as a plan on how to develop sustainable win-win relationships.
