Reach for that Partnership

It is never easy to reach beyond the safe borders of your own nonprofit organization. However, the strengths of the organization are dependent upon a constant reaching beyond your borders to bring in talented individuals, whether as employees, board members or volunteers. So, I challenge and push the organization to think of another organization as just another component of gaining more strengths for the organization.
Partnerships should only last as long as there is an identified benefit for both parties. It is no different than letting go of an employee, board member or volunteer when there is no longer a good fit.
