Don Kligerman, President of Fairmount Ventures, will join a panel of experts at the Philadelphia Social Innovations Journal’s “Innovations through Collaboration and Partnerships” event. The event will look at how working together through collaboration and partnerships can drive innovation and sustainability in the nonprofit and social sector.
Don, along with other members of the panel, will discuss key elements to successful collaborations. Fairmount has facilitated numerous affiliation discussions among a wide variety of nonprofits over the past two-plus decades, some of which have resulted in highly effective partnerships, affiliations and mergers, and others which have concluded with everyone deciding to just be friends.
Partnering with PSIJ is the Urban Affairs Coalition’s Coalition U Initiative, United Way of Greater Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey, and Public Health Management Corporation.
Regional and national experts on collaborations, collective impact strategies and mergers, along with experienced local nonprofit leaders, will share best practices on successful partnerships and also discuss how, unlike the private sector, few nonprofits enter into such partnerships and far fewer affiliate or merge with other nonprofits.
