Partnership Options for Nonprofits

La Piana Consulting is dedicated to helping nonprofits become stronger and more effective through collaboration. “Strategic restructuring” brings to mind the old adage, “together we stand, divided we fall,” offering nonprofits the opportunity to leverage the talents of their own and other organizations by working together in an increasingly competitive environment.

Every organization strives to anticipate or respond proactively to market challenges and opportunities. Strategic restructuring refers to a continuum of collaborative partnerships, from informal partnerships and joint programming to mergers and shared back-office administration. La Piana Consulting, through its foundation-sponsored Strategic Solutions project, was the nation's first resource on all aspects of nonprofit strategic restructuring.

More than a decade later, the economic landscape is forcing many nonprofit organizations to consider strategic restructuring for the first time. For lasting success, nonprofit mergers should not be approached as a last ditch survival tactic during an economic downturn but a strategic opportunity for compatible organizations to join forces for greater social impact.

We are proud to continue to lead the nonprofit sector in strategic restructuring. One of our best selling works, The Nonprofit Mergers Workbook, originally published in 2000 was updated in 2008 by Bob Harrington, Director of our Strategic Restructuring practice.
