Nonprofit network
A nonprofit network is an informal collaboration of nonprofit organizations aimed at facilitating professional relationships and achieving mission goals.[1]
Purpose and structure
Nonprofit networks are "informal, nonhierarchical groups of individuals or organizations with flexible roles and low-key leadership."[1] Participation in nonprofit networks is non-compulsory, organizations maintain individual autonomy and decisions are made through decentralized collaboration. Networks allow members to tap into a variety of organizational resources and expand community outreach.[2][3]
Nonprofit networks are often geared toward achieving specific mission goals, disseminating information or building professional relationships.[2]
