Mergers as a Strategy for Success

In this episode of Forefront radio, we talk with Don Haider, Director of Northwestern's Center for Nonprofit Management and Jean Butzen, President and Founder of Mission + Strategy Consulting about their work on the Metropolitan Chicago Nonprofit Merger Research Study. The first of its kind in the midwest, the purpose of the study was to explore how nonprofits can use mergers as effective and powerful tools to achieve their goals, advance their mission, and increase their impact. The study analyzes 25 nonprofit mergers that took place in the Chicago metro area between 2004 and 2014 and highlights the diverse paths these organizations took to arrive at positive outcomes. In the podcast, we discussed the impetus for the study as well as some of the findings and the 10 keys for success. Find the full study at
