Description
The Central New York Community Foundation’s Strategic Sustainability Fund, also called the Strategic Partnership Fund, supports collaboration within and between nonprofits. It focuses on mergers, formal affiliations, and coordinated partnerships that enhance program delivery while helping organizations use limited financial and human resources more effectively and efficiently.
The fund supports both analysis of potential collaborations and implementation of strategies that align organizational missions, improve operations, and expand programmatic impact. Professional, legal, human resources, and technical assistance can help nonprofits explore partnerships and put them into practice. The goal is a more resilient and sustainable nonprofit sector, with less duplication and greater innovation in service delivery.
