Two Sector Leaders Collaborate to Yield High-Impact Outcomes
Abstract
The Philadelphia Foundation (TPF) and United Way of Greater Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey (UWGPSNJ) recently entered into a strategic partnership to create and implement the Nonprofit Board Leadership Institute (NBLI), providing intensive joint training for nonprofit board chairs and their executive directors. The collaborative nature of the Institute represents an effort to model what many grantmakers stress to the organizations they fund: that while collaborative work may require more staff time and resources than non-collaborative work, it can lead to a better end product. In the short term, collaboration on the NBLI resulted in pooling resources and utilizing existing infrastructure. More importantly, both organizations will benefit in the long term from the development of a relationship of trust that will likely materialize in further future collaboration.
