Social Alliances: Company/Nonprofit Collaboration Case Solution
Businesses are increasingly seeing corporate social responsibility as a key to long term success and are collaborating with nonprofit organizations in different means to establish themselves as good corporate citizens. This note delves into a promising type of business/nonprofit collaboration called societal alliances--long term, collaborative efforts between companies and nonprofits that are made to achieve strategic objectives for both organizations.
Circumstances that impede or enable social alliances, factors, and the characteristics are examined through an investigation of 11 societal alliances involving 26 organizations. Though societal alliances may be fraught with issues, they can be designed, structured, nurtured, and kept in a manner that enables both to give rise to solving pressing social problems and to executing significant tactical objectives for nonprofits and businesses.
