Building Sustainable Collaborations Amongst Highly Diverse Racialized Minorities (Webinar)

Can sustainable collaborations be established amongst a highly diverse and racialized minority community of nonprofits through a structure of support? This is the essential question being explored by Indiana University’s Lilly School of Philanthropy. The Community Collaborative Initiative (CCI) is a community-based, action research project that examines the use of social capital, trust, and capacity building as tools to engage 25 Muslim American nonprofit organizations in establishing ways to work together towards solving a common problem. The outcomes of this three-year project include publishing best practices, determining new mechanisms of nonprofit collaborations, and developing lessons that seek to influence the nonprofit sector as a whole.

Join Forefront’s Mission Sustainability Initiative and the leaders of the CCI for a discussion-style presentation and Q&A on this vanguard project.  Learn what organizational and cultural norms the CCI is trying to shift and how the CCI relates to other collaborations. The CCI is the result of thought leadership by the Pillars Fund, Center on Muslim Philanthropy, and the Waraich Family Foundation in partnership with the Muslim Philanthropy Initiative at the Lilly Family School of Philanthropy.

The MSI serves to strengthen the social impact sector by building a learning culture and resources around strategic partnerships.
