Categories Podcast, Webinar

The Nonprofit Exchange Podcast – Collaborate to Innovate: Unlocking Success in Nonprofit Partnerships with guest Michelle Shumate.

Michelle Shumate is the founder and owner of Social Impact Network Consulting (SINC). Through SINC, she helps social impact leaders find nuanced solutions through coaching and consulting. She is the author of the forthcoming book, Networks for Social Impact (Oxford University Press). Her work has been featured in Stanford Social Innovation Review, Nonprofit Quarterly, and Youth Today. Michelle is the founding director of Network for Nonprofit and Social Impact (NNSI), the Delaney Family University Research Professor, and Associate Faculty at the Institute for Policy Research at Northwestern University.

Sustained Collaboration is a powerful strategic tool for nonprofit leaders to build resilience and increase their social impact. I’d like nonprofit leaders and clergy to: 1. Learn about the types of sustained collaboration available, including mergers, asset transfers, shared service arrangements, shared projects, and alliances. 2. Consider these types of collaborations as strategic tools to (a) embark on a strategic transformation, (b) establish new programs or improve and expand existing programs, (c) develop new efficiencies through shared assets, (d) create policy wins, (e) encourage innovation, and (f) produce better quality outcomes for clients and the community.
