The Impact Collaborative (SSIR)
A new nonprofit alliance model demonstrates how organizations that once worked independently can join forces to expand their services while maintaining independence.
Challenges for Nonprofits
Nonprofits increasingly face rising demands, tighter budgets, and more complex social issues that surpass the capacity and mission of any single group. Addressing urgent problems such as hunger, homelessness, education, and health equity requires strategic coordination beyond what most organizations can achieve alone.
Barriers to Collaboration
Most nonprofits tend to operate separately due to understandable reasons. Structural factors like funding mechanisms, branding, and board expectations often promote competition rather than cooperation among organizations.
“Rising demand, shrinking funding, and increasingly complex social issues often exceed the capacity—and mission—of any single organization.”
Despite these obstacles, the new alliance model offers a promising pathway for nonprofits to collaborate effectively while preserving their autonomy.
Summary: The Impact Collaborative showcases how strategic partnerships among nonprofits can overcome isolation and resource constraints to tackle interconnected social challenges more effectively.
