April 22nd, 8:30am-10:30am
Location: Robert Wood Johnson Foundation 50 College RD E, Princeton, NJ 08540
As nonprofits navigate tighter budgets and growing demands, many are turning to alternative staffing and service models. This session introduces options such as fractional roles and PEOs and explores how they work in practice. A panel of service providers and nonprofit leaders will share real-world experiences, highlighting benefits, trade-offs, and key questions to consider when deciding if these approaches are the right fit for your organization.

We are again hosting Session 1: Strategic Alliances in Practice: When, Why, and How Nonprofits Partner, which was impacted by the snow in February
April 29, 2026, 9-11:30am
Location: Princeton Area Community Foundation
Register Here for the Repeat of Session 1
Strategic partnerships, including alliances, program transfers, administrative consolidations, and mergers, can help nonprofits strengthen impact, extend capacity, solve persistent challenges, and respond to changing conditions when approached thoughtfully.
This session is for nonprofits exploring collaboration as a pathway to greater stability and success. We will examine the range of partnership models available and how they work in practice. Participants will learn when it makes sense to consider collaboration or consolidation, the first steps to take, how to bring boards into the conversation, and common challenges that can derail these efforts.
Seating is limited. We encourage early registration and ask that organizations limit attendance to a small number of key staff members.
