Beyond Collaboration: Strategic Restructuring of Nonprofit Organizations

The James Irvine Foundation — sensing an increased interest among nonprofit sector leaders in partnership opportunities — commissioned a study by David La Piana of the future role of strategic restructuring. That study led to Beyond Collaboration: Strategic Restructuring for Nonprofit Organizations, published by the National Center for Nonprofit Boards in 1997. The study offers an analysis of restructuring efforts among nonprofits and describes several strategies that funders might develop to support activity in this arena. A follow-up Revised Second Edition was released in March 2000, with an expanded reference section demonstrating the considerable advancements made in the field of strategic restructuring over that three-year period.
