To Merge or Not to Merge?

In today’s competitive environment, nonprofits with similar missions are increasingly considering joining forces to sustain their ability to get the job done for those they serve.

I take nonprofit organizations step-by-step through the process of marrying their programs successfully. Together, we’ll forge your two organizations into a single, effective team.

Here’s an overview of the process, but keep in mind that merging is complicated and each merger has its own set of unique challenges.

• First, I will conduct a mini-360 Review of the fundraising/development program for both organizations to facilitate integration and I’ll work with both organizations to maximize your combined strengths while maintaining your momentum;
• Next, I’ll assist the board and staff leadership of both organizations as you work through the (non-legal) aspects of the merger, particularly as they relate to integrating your development/marketing programs and leadership development your joined board.

If your organization is considering whether or not to merge with a similar nonprofit in your area contact me today to get the decision-making process started.
