Nonprofit Mergers

In Nonprofit Mergers: The Power of Successful Partnerships, Dan McCormick offers a practical approach to merger strategy for the nonprofit sector. Currently a consultant specializing in nonprofit management, McCormick brings a unique perspective to issues involving nonprofit organizational structure with his background in both public education and corporate management. Contending that "Nonprofit organization (NPO) mergers are about mission, money, members, management, and method," McCormick successfully incorporates the real-life merger of a small foundation with a large association into the explanation of his framework. McCormick covers all stages of the merger process, from the initial phase of deciding to merge to the final steps of evaluation and stewardship. Nonprofit managers will find this guide particularly valuable as they are increasingly forced to operate in environments marked by rapid and constant change.
