Barbara Chow Co-Authors Article About Funder Collaborations

That’s the key question behind, “Funder Collaborations – Flourish or Flounder?” The article, co-written by Barbara Chow, director of the Foundation’s Education program, is featured in the latest issue of The Foundation Review, a peer-reviewed journal of philanthropy.

As the article mentions, “Funder collaborations work best when participants recognize key milestones in a partnership and make decisions at each of these stages to set up success: defining the problem and agreeing on clear goals and strategies that leverage the unique value of collaboration; taking action aligned to shared objectives through nimble decision-making, defined lines of authority, and strong support and expertise; and setting criteria for success that allow participants to know what they are accomplishing, honestly assess their progress along the way, and determine the right next steps.”
