First-Ever $250,000 National Nonprofit Collaboration Prize Contest Ends in Tie Between Two Successful Mergers

"Our Collaboration Prize findings could not have come at a better time," said Lodestar President Lois Savage. "We hope that the models and best practices we identified will help many a nonprofit to weather this storm."

As part of the Awards Ceremony, all eight finalists provided highlights about what made their collaborations so successful. A list of the 120 quarter finalists will be posted on the Collaboration Prize Web site on March 9 and a video from the award luncheon will be posted online on April 1.
