What is Strategic Restructuring?

Strategic restructuring is a tool available to nonprofit organizations interested in meeting environmental challenges, addressing organizational problems, strengthening services, and better accomplishing their mission. Strategic restructuring is a continuum of partnerships — including but not limited to mergers, joint ventures, administrative consolidations, joint programming and MSO’s — through which nonprofits attempt to anticipate or respond to environmental threats and opportunities. These partnerships are differentiated from collaboration in that they involve a change in the locus of control of at least a portion of one or more of the organizations involved.
