Many nonprofits today are looking for ways to work with others to increase effectiveness, achieve maximum impact and extend their reach. Whether these are formal or informal arrangements, it’s important that the range of strategic alliances is explored by potential partners and the right model is determined.

战略联盟为更好地服务客户和客户提供了机会，带来了所需的资源，并建立更强大的组织。战略联盟的可能性范围很广，从在某个项目上合作，到共享后台服务，再到合并。

The Center for Nonprofit Leadership works with nonprofit organizations to:

• Explore opportunities for potential partnerships
• Formulate ways for fair and productive partnerships
• Provide consultation on co-location, consolidation and mergers

我们认为，战略规划是应对不断变化的环境带来的一系列挑战的最佳途径。一个成功的战略规划过程对内部和外部的现实情况进行检查和预测，以帮助组织预测和响应变化，并成功地向前发展。战略规划通过重新审视使命、明确愿景、明确预期影响、分析支出以及可能重新塑造组织的许多方面(包括内部结构、项目和筹款)来实现这一点。

Our approach to strategic planning begins with the impact that an organization wants to have on the community that it serves. In an era of declining resources, organizations must clarify their intended impact. What is success? The plan then outlines a strategy for reaching that goal.

战略计划提供组织焦点和清晰度。他们展望未来，提供前进的结构。They also provide other benefits:

• Increase commitment to the organization and its goals
• Communicate organizational stability to the community
• Provide a foundation for fundraising, board development and marketing
• Create a way to measure success

If your organization has never embarked on a strategic planning process, it could be one of the best and most important decisions that the organization has ever made.

As nonprofit executives begin to recognize the value of leadership coaching, the Center for Nonprofit Leadership continues to offer one-on-one and team coaching to executives and key decision makers. Whether you are an experienced nonprofit executive or an emerging leader, a coach can bring a fresh perspective and new energy to what you are doing and where you want to go.
