About the Alliance

A Community for the Executive Teams of the Nation’s Leading Nonprofits

Through an integrated model of leadership development, knowledge sharing, and capacity building, we add annual value to our member organizations by helping them improve.

Our programming offers senior leaders a dedicated space to build trust, relationships, and the habits of working together while consistently reinforcing the practical and powerful benefits of sharing and collaboration across organizations.

We then use that “culture of the collective” to ideate, design, and launch multi-organization collaborations, focused on opportunities in our issue areas that are too large or too complex for any one organization to address on its own—but where strategic coalitions of 20+ organizations can unlock new possibilities.
