Non-profits Collaborate - YEA!

THE BIG SQUEEZE!

With the state of the economy, non-profits are being squeezed from both sides with less contributions on the way in and more customers needing service. This sounds like an executive's worst night-mare.

Who was it that said "crisis is the mother of invention?". We are fortunate to be working with a number of non-profits who are saying "There has to be a better way!".

We salute a group of non-profit leaders in Chattanooga who are exploring collaboration to deliver more with less. If you know of a non-profit collaboration leading practice, we would love to hear about it!!

Here are the sites idenfitied thus for by the Chattanooga initiative:
