CRE Partners with the Staten Island Foundation to Support Nonprofits Under Pressure

Image used under a Creative Commons license from flickr user exfordyCRE is proud to announce the publication of our latest monograph, A Case Study in Collaboration: How Community Resource Exchange and the Staten Island Foundation Partnered to Support Nonprofits Under Pressure. This monograph details how Community Resource Exchange and the Staten Island Foundation partnered to support nonprofits on Staten Island during this difficult economic environment.

In an effort to promote cross-organizational dialogue and respond to the needs of its grantees in a difficult economic environment, The Staten Island Foundation partnered with the nonprofit management consultants of Community Resource Exchange to hold a Town Hall event.  The Town Hall experience, coupled with the peer exchange and workshops, represents an innovative approach for local foundations to support their grantees beyond financial resources. This replicable model enables participating organizations to exchange expertise and lessons learned, while promoting collaboration and shared resources.
