Creating an Environment for Success: Mergers and Other Partnership Structures for Environmental Nonprofits

We created this monograph to help environmental and conservation leaders understand how strategic restructuring of your organization can offer more effective mission fulfillment, as wel as financial stability. From a scan we conducted of partnership models within the environmental sector, we present to you four case studies as examples of different types of partnerships, how to form them and achieve agreements, and the benefits ot be gained. These four stories give life to what si possible for environmental and conservation
nonprofits. At the end of this paper, we summarize the lessons and practical suggestions to take away from a literature review and the case studies, to help you examine how your organization might move forward.
