At St. David’s Foundation, we prioritize collaboration—as one of our core values, we aim to encourage and fund collaborative initiatives in our community. We also recognize the need for grantmakers to provide appropriate, formal support to make these collaborations effective and sustainable. On June 25, our partner GivingData will be presenting findings on nonprofit collaborations from the Sustained Collaboration Network’s latest report and leading a panel discussion including our own Vice President of Community Investments, Regan Gruber Moffitt. This webinar is free to attend and will particularly benefit grantmakers looking to play a larger role in helping nonprofits add capacity and amplify their impact through collaboration.

Chasing Success: the Challenge for Nonprofits calls for improved collaboration among nonprofit programs and for strengthened community systems, including more cooperative thinking and action not only among those funding and implementing programs but also among those setting policy, conducting research and engaging communities as partners in change. Today, far too often, nonprofit programs compete for resources and visibility--- without a focus on cooperation and the funding to sustain collaboration, there could be good programs but not the centrality to take what has been learned, scale the initiative and serve more people---with quality and validated outcomes. Interdisciplinary partners could include, for example, business schools, community leaders, political scientists and housing experts based upon the problem that the organization is trying to solve--the content of the work will provide guidance.

Love this update. Please take advisory councils seriously. They are not: 💀 The final resting place of board members who should otherwise step down 😣 A "pipeline" for "young" "diverse" "wealthy" or other profile of a person that you should probably work to better clarify and just recruit and retain on the board. 💸 An "easy" way to fundraise. Advisory councils MAY do some of the above, but whatever your intention with creating one, it requires time, talent, and resources. Treat it accordingly.
From filling gaps in board expertise to connecting with new communities, advisory councils play a valuable role in nonprofit organizations. In order for these councils to live up to their potential, we recommend following these nine keys to success:

This article advises nonprofit boards on how to prioritize strategy by dedicating half of each board meeting to strategic discussions. The author suggests reallocating time from non-strategic topics and implementing a structured agenda that focuses on strategic goals. The area I agree 100% with the author is when it comes to engaging active committees, involved board members, and transparent communication are also highlighted as important factors. This approach allows nonprofit boards to better focus on strategy and drive impactful outcomes. https://lnkd.in/gAjjJHaf
