The Collaboration Prize recognizes collaborations among two or more nonprofit organizations that each would otherwise provide the same or similar programs or services and compete for clients, financial resources and staff. The Prize also seeks to build an information base of effective practice models that can be studied and used by academics, nonprofit leaders and grantmakers to inspire and advance their work.
Do you know a nonprofit collaboration that is achieving greater community impact, greater efficiency with resources, or both? If you are familiar with the collaboration and not an employee of any organization involved, you can nominate that collaboration.
The nomination process begins June 1, 2008 and closes at 5 p.m. EDT on July 21, 2008.
