Building Effective Cross-Sector Partnerships

In a recent article titled "Cross sector partnering: A case study award in India," I highlighted several key questions for NGOs and nonprofits who are considering collaboration with corporate partners.  They include:

• Where does the relationship fall on the collaboration continuum?
• Do both partners have written collaboration purpose statements?
• What are the missions, strategies, and values of each partner?

Several additional questions are also included alongside an interesting case study from the Community Technology Services project for children and young adults in low and moderate income Indian communities in Madurai, India funded by Panda Software International,(Panda Security), Spain as part of its corporate social responsibility programmes.
