The Collaboration Compass is a 5-stage way-finding process that takes your nonprofit from exploration to implementation.

We designed it around one simple principle: every step should be worth it, regardless of what comes next, including elegant off-ramps that save you valuable time and money. You can engage one phase at a time, make a decision, and move forward — or not — with clarity and confidence.

If you're curious about what collaboration can do to move your mission forward, take our readiness quiz to figure out where to start. The questions are based on decades of research in collaboration and our experience helping nonprofits merge, create shared services or programs, and set up new alliances or networks. You can learn more about the Collaboration Continuum at www.sustainedcollab.org

Your results will point you in one of these directions:

🟢 |Green light| - You're ready. Go for it!   

🟡 |Yellow light| - You're almost there…

🔴 |Red light| - Look before you leap. 

Ready or not, if you’re curious enough about collaboration to take the next step, we’ve got you! Give us a shout.
