Partnership and Financial Vibrancy
Agency Partnerships
Both the financial vibrancy research, and the work of Lester Salamon – a prominent US sector researcher at the Johns Hopkins University Institute for Policy Studies, Center for Civil Society Studies, http://www.jhu.edu/ccss/index.html - point to partnerships as the leading way that non-profits are transforming their work in the current fiscal environment.
The capacity to build relationships – to work together to envision and build new ways of working – often make the difference between being able to offer a valuable program or service or having to pass up the opportunity for additional revenue. Collaboration between partners can also enable the exchange of capacity in each of the partnering organizations.

Community Partnerships
In the larger context of community capacity building, collaboration and partnership formation strengthens networks, improves access to information and opportunities and enhances community. It is a win-win scenario for both your agency and your community. Networks of partnerships build community capacity to respond to issues from within.
