Sheer grit and countless hours of effort are what go into the survival of most non-profits. Autonomy is hard-earned, and protecting what’s been built, serving vulnerable populations, and staying accountable to local needs is at the heart of what we do. And yet - Money is always tight. Human resources are sometimes hard to come by. Reporting is time-consuming. IT systems are expensive. And, the political environment is asking non-profits to do ever more with less.

This half-day in-person interactive workshop will explore, in practical ways, the essential components needed to build strong, long-lasting collaborations and partnerships. The workshop will focus on:
