The Making of a Nonprofit Merger

Bridging the Organizational Divide: The Making of a Nonprofit Merger is a detailed case study of the process of merging two nonprofit housing development organizations in Nashua, New Hampshire. Collaboration is being proposed with increasing frequency by public and private funders and by practitioners across the country as a preferred strategy for addressing weaknesses arising within the nonprofit housing sector, especially when multiple nonprofits share the same locale. Merger, the most extreme form collaboration can take, is becoming a common occurrence. The Nashua case study provides insights into the kinds of obstacles that arise and the kinds of issues that must be resolved in any attempt to bring two (or more) nonprofit organizations together.
