The Mission Sustainability Initiative (MSI) at Forefront aims to provide grants to nonprofits seeking funding to support the exploration or implementation of strategic partnerships. MSI supports a variety of strategic partnerships including nonprofit mergers, acquisitions, back-office collaborations, joint ventures, and other programmatic alliances to ensure long-term or permanent sustainability.
The Mission Sustainability Initiative (MSI) at Forefront is dedicated to helping nonprofits thrive by providing the resources for leaders to regularly and thoughtfully explore collaboration and partnership strategies. The MSI looks at partnership development in three phases: Pre-Exploratory, Exploratory, and Implementation. Pre-Exploratory projects are opportunities for single organizations to explore their partnership goals and readiness. Exploratory projects are opportunities for two or more organizations to develop a strategic partnership strategy, build trust between organizations, conduct due diligence, determine mission/vision values alignment, and build a plan for partnership implementation. Implementation projects are opportunities to build the infrastructure that a partnership needs to thrive. The nature of this infrastructure will vary significantly based on the type of partnership. The first step in any application is scheduling a meeting with the MSI Director, who will help to confirm eligibility and fit with the MSI funding priorities and provide guidance and connections to other helpful resources.
