Access grants to help defray the one-time, out-of-pocket, and other costs associated with nonprofit collaborations.
As part of the national Sustained Collaboration Network and other valuable connections, we share best practices from funders and nonprofits working to advance collaboration.
MassCollab is led by an Initiative Manager who is supported by many passionate and talented individuals and research with two decades of experience in nonprofit collaborations.
MassCollab was established after roughly two years of research and conversations with local nonprofits, funders and other stakeholders in the MA nonprofit community.
We continue to seek new funders who share the conviction and excitement for what strategic and sustained collaboration can mean for the impact and sustainability of the MA nonprofit sector.
We engage local and national funders, Massachusetts' nonprofits and other mission aligned organizations and individuals to maximize MassCollab's impact.
