What is partnership?

Simple sharing of resources to reach a common goal.

Increased collaboration among non-profit, and community business is needed due to the decrease in the prominence of government in community life. The age of ever-bigger government has ended and there has been a shift of social functions to the non-profit and private sector. The shift has made the building of coalitions and partnerships between groups with similar mandates and missions essential.
