Nonprofit leaders should be thinking about collaboration as an ongoing strategic practice, not just during times of crisis. In this episode of Nonprofit Nerd®: Impact Unleashed, Kate Harris joins Jarrett Ransom to explore why partnerships, shared services, mergers, and other collaborative models should be part of every nonprofit leader's toolkit. Together, they discuss common misconceptions about collaboration, how to know when it's time to explore new organizational structures, and why keeping your mission at the center of every decision leads to stronger, more sustainable impact. Kate also introduces her Collaboration Compass framework and shares practical guidance for leaders who are "collaboration curious." This conversation challenges nonprofit leaders to replace fear with curiosity and view collaboration as an opportunity to better serve their communities.
