What We Do
Today’s nonprofits work hard to grow impact while dealing with big changes – fewer donations, people giving differently, and less involvement by the business community. One way nonprofits are adapting is through consolidation. Humanergy’s Non-Profit Merger Team (NPMT) understands the complexities of coming together. We offer proven expertise and services to help nonprofit organizations move along the Continuum of Collaboration.
