October Webinar Sale - 50% Off

special_offer_tag.jpgNonprofit Mergers, Acquisitions and Dissolutions 

The nonprofit world has continued to change since we did our last webinar on mergers, acquisitions and dissolutions. What was optional thinking for nonprofits in 2024 has become mandatory thinking for many in 2026.

With serious cutbacks in federal funding, increased competition for the limited private resources available, and efforts to abolish the very essence of the work of others, many nonprofits are now concerned about their ability to survive. Now more than ever, considering whether and how to merge, affiliate or dissolve is critical.

Price: $44.50

That's 50% off its regular price of $89.
