Montco workshop supports nonprofit partnerships

The North Penn Nonprofit Academy will hold Working Smarter by Working Together: Partnering and Pooling Resources in Difficult Times, a free capacity-building workshop for North Penn Nonprofit Academy participants, on March 17th.

The worsening economy has led to an increase in demand for services, while at the same time, funding for programs and operations is being cut at alarming rates.  At recent meetings of Delaware Valley Grantmakers’ membership, funders have expressed interest in stretching their grant dollars through supporting collaborations that would help nonprofits streamline their efforts and reduce costs, including program-related partnerships and feasibility studies for mergers.  This workshop will feature an interactive discussion led by Fernando Chang-Muy, Esq., who has successfully led collaborations among both funders and nonprofits, about win-win partnerships that both further mission and decrease costs.

The workshop will be offered 8:30-11:30am and again from noon-3pm at Community Partners: Center for Nonprofit Management, Walton Meeting Room, 2506 N. Broad St, Colmar. Directions are available here.
