Nonprofit Limitations

nonprofit?

– Not enough resources to support staff driven structure – “Nonprofits are bundles of feelings” charities not problem solving organizations – We play college access organizations on TV not working to the scale or depth necessary

University-Nonprofit Partnerships

• How do we make University & Nonprofit

Partnerships Effective?

– Need to be connection to core business of the university: Teaching, Research, Neighborhood/Community Relations – Nonprofit allows external focus on communities and less inside university baseball that trumps student focus – Understanding the lack of accountability for…anything

University-Nonprofit Partnerships

• Universities as Anchors
• Align with research, teaching, admissions needs of

Universities

• Be key implementer for grants – business

relationship vs. charity relationship

• Philanthropy as Investment Capital
• Show that philanthropy can be leveraged with

university and public dollars

• Show a new kind of focused effort
• Student Pathway that moves through schools

and neighborhoods
