Keeping the Doors Open

This October, join us as we dive deep into the critical world of nonprofit strategic partnerships. In an era of tightening budgets and fierce competition for donor dollars, nonprofits are reimagining survival—and thriving—through mergers, acquisitions, and innovative collaborations that strengthen their missions without compromising their values.

This week we welcome special guest Mary Mulliet, President and CEO, Battle Creek Community Foundation as we explore the delicate balance of preserving organizational identity while pursuing strategic alliances, explore how to maintain donor confidence during transitions, and tackle the real-world challenges of cultural integration and regulatory compliance.

From breakthrough partnership models to cautionary tales, we're asking the questions that matter: What does a successful nonprofit collaboration really look like? What are the red flags organizations should watch for? And ultimately—how do nonprofits not just keep the doors open, but position themselves to make an even greater impact in their communities?

Whether you're a nonprofit leader considering a strategic partnership or simply passionate about the future of the sector, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.
