Nonprofit Success Series: Partnerships, Collaborations & Mergers

Presented by Anne Meysenberg, Director of Community Investment at the Omaha Community Foundation

When does it make sense to formally join forces with another organization—and when is a strategic partnership the better path? How can nonprofits build toward long-term sustainability through collaboration? And what role can fundraising play in making these strategies a reality?

Join us for a candid and practical conversation with Anne Meysenburg, Director of Community Investment at the Omaha Community Foundation. Drawing on real-world case studies and local examples, Anne will walk through the considerations, opportunities, and challenges nonprofits face when exploring strategic relationships—from informal partnerships to full-scale mergers and acquisitions.

This session will explore:

• How to assess opportunities for collaboration, partnership, or merger
• When a merger or acquisition may be the right strategic move
• How to evaluate mission alignment and organizational fit
• Approaches to engaging board members and key stakeholders
• Fundraising and financial strategies to support transitions and growth

Anne brings more than a decade of experience advising nonprofits through growth and change. In addition to her work at OCF, she has led organizations as an executive director and supported dozens of local nonprofits through grantmaking and capacity-building initiatives.

Whether you’re actively considering a merger or just curious about future possibilities, this session will offer insight, tools, and questions to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.

Lunch will be provided. Registration required.
