'Non profits are not working together', is a statement I hear almost on a daily basis. I actually don't agree with this statement. I think this problem has been changing in the last 5 years in NEO. There are many non-profits who have come together (without force from funders to collaborate). I think the non-profit community has done a bad job in highlighting these collaborations to the community at large.
Do you know of any great stories of non-profits collaborating (without force from funders) that have happened in your neighboorhood? Please share your story.
I actually think there is enough collaboration going on to do a study on NEO collaborations and taking best practices from this collaboration to help the entire non-profit community of NEO. Hmmm that is a concept.... studying what we are doing vs. studying what we are not doing.
