Shared Services: A Spectrum of Approaches (Option 4)

In response to member needs and the many challenges facing our sector today, the Nonprofit Center of Northeast Florida is considering offering a range of shared backbone services to our community of nonprofits. Our initial focus on fiscal sponsorship has broadened to include other approaches, such as technical assistance, mergers, and acquisitions. Join us for a webinar outlining the spectrum of options we’re exploring, including a description of each approach and the key questions and considerations for organizations interested in participating in such resources.

In this session, you will hear from Thaddeus Squire, Chief Commons Steward for Social Impact Commons, the national experts in fiscal sponsorship, to learn more about these different strategic options. The webinar is for key organizational decision makers, including senior management and board members.

Please note we are providing four different offerings of this session to allow as many members from the nonprofit community to attend as possible. Please register for one time that best suits your schedule – once you have registered for one of these sessions you do not need to register for the other 3. The four options to register include: July 8 at 12:00 p.m., July 9 at 9:00 a.m., July 15 at 12:00 p.m., and July 29 at 9:00 a.m. 

This session will be virtual – zoom info included in registration confirmation.
