Partnerships

Why Form Partnerships?

From the Oregon Library Association's Children's Services Division Grant Finding Tips:

In your efforts to improve early literacy awareness in your community, we hope that will consider joining with other organizations concerned with child welfare. Collaboration offers not only a better opportunity to receive funding, but also several other tangible benefits.

Collaboration offers you:

  • Access to additional resources
  • Opportunities to cooperate across institutional borders
  • New perspectives and ideas
  • Opportunities to think "outside the box"
  • Access to new target populations
  • Relationships for the future
  • The competitive edge: grant makers want to fund collaboration
