#MergerMondays: Nonprofits Helping Nonprofits
Across the social sector, a clear trend is taking shape: organizations dedicated to strengthening other nonprofits are choosing to partner as a way to secure their long-term impact. Research on mission-driven consolidation shows why—when capacity-building groups join forces, nonprofits gain deeper expertise, easier access to support, and more coordinated leadership. The two mergers highlighted below reflect that shift. Both are purposeful, future-focused responses to real pressures across the field, and each demonstrates a shared belief that nonprofits and community groups deserve the kind of support that helps them not just endure, but truly thrive.
Support Staffordshire’s merger with The Globe Group CIC builds on years of shared work to help local organizations navigate the realities of rising energy costs, climate impacts, and shifting commissioner expectations. Support Staffordshire brings deep community infrastructure experience and climate partnerships like the Staffordshire Green Network, while Globe contributes established sustainability programming, Carbon Literacy training, and hands-on consultancy for community energy. By making Globe a wholly owned subsidiary, the merged entity will offer nonprofits a single, accessible hub for resilience planning, green-skills workforce development, and future-focused strategy. The continued operation and growth of the Globe Eco Centre ensures the county retains a physical anchor for learning, convening, and innovation. Leaders from both organizations describe the move as a natural next step that strengthens their ability to advocate, educate, and support long-term community well-being.
Meanwhile, Pyxera Global and Common Impact are uniting to accelerate the evolution of skills-based volunteering at a global scale. Pyxera’s 35-year global reach and corporate social responsibility leadership combine with Common Impact’s 25 years of U.S.-based experience designing innovative skills-based volunteering models, virtual engagement approaches, and cross-sector partnerships. Their alliance offers Fortune 500 companies and nonprofits a seamless continuum of services from local pro bono engagements to multinational talent-exchange programs. Both organizations bring strong brands, respected methodologies, and a long-standing, values-aligned relationship. Together, they aim to strengthen nonprofit capacity, deepen employee purpose, and fuel collective action on complex global challenges.
Taken together, these mergers reflect a sector leaning toward collaboration as a source of strength. They’re intentional, hopeful steps designed to multiply impact and they signal a future where nonprofits are better equipped, better connected, and boldly working together for the communities they serve.
