Right now, many nonprofits are making hard choices about how to sustain their missions in the face of funding cuts and a changed funding environment. For some, that means considering whether a merger or collaborative venture could protect programs, preserve community relationships, and create a more durable path forward. In this panel, we’ll talk candidly about what leads organizations to explore these options, what concerns or misconceptions can make the conversations difficult, and how leaders can approach the process with clarity, care, and a focus on what the community needs most.

In this session, we will explore:

Why mergers and collaborative ventures matter now

Common challenges and misconceptions

What becomes possible when shared resources are aligned

Tools for getting started

Event series: Tough but important conversations shaping the future of the nonprofit sector

Nonprofit work is changing, and leaders need space to ask the questions that do not always have easy answers. This event series creates room for candid, thoughtful conversations about how nonprofits can adapt, collaborate, and build stronger paths toward mission impact. Together, we will explore the challenges, opportunities, and new ideas shaping the future of our work and what nonprofit leaders can do now to prepare for what comes next.

This event series is offered in collaboration with the George H. Heyman, Jr. Program for Philanthropy and Fundraising within the NYU SPS Center for Global Affairs.
