Collaborations, Partnerships & Mergers: Exploring Possibilities In Uncertain Times

PRESENTERS:
Philip Arca & Marc-Andrew Aguilera

This presentation will focus on our current social/political context, so full of uncertainty, and outlines a framework for exploratory conversations that might assist organizations to navigate these difficult times through complementary relationships – ranging from collaboration, to partnership, to merger. These are difficult conversations to have, frighten many, but worth exploring in thoughtful ways to at least affirm any direction going forward. We will look at several areas for shared administrative functions. It is naïve to remove any possibilities from the table.

The Wallace Foundation seeks to improve education and enrichment for disadvantaged children and foster the vitality of arts for everyone. The foundation has an unusual approach: funding efforts to test innovative ideas for solving important public problems, conducting research to find out what works and what doesn’t and to fill key knowledge gaps – and then communicating the results to help others. Wallace, which works nationally, has five major initiatives under way:

School leadership: Strengthening education leadership to improve student achievement.
Afterschool: Helping selected cities make good afterschool programs available to many more children.
Building audiences for the arts: Enabling arts organizations to bring the arts to a broader and more diverse group of people.
Arts education: Expanding arts learning opportunities for children and teens.
Summer and expanded learning: Better understanding the impact of high-quality summer learning programs on disadvantaged children, and enriching and expanding the school day in ways that benefit students.
