University-Nonprofit Partnerships • How do we make University & Nonprofit Partnerships Effective? – Need to be connection to core business of the university: Teaching, Research, Neighborhood/Community Relations – Nonprofit allows external focus on communities and less inside university baseball that trumps student focus – Understanding the lack of accountability for…anything www.epi.org 14

University-Nonprofit Partnerships - Universities as Anchors o Align with research, teaching, admissions needs of Universities o Be key implementer for grants – business relationship vs. charity relationship - Philanthropy as Investment Capital o Show that philanthropy can be leveraged with university and public dollars o Show a new kind of focused effort  Student Pathway that moves through schools and neighborhoods
