Chicago Nonprofit Merger Study

In 2016, Mission + Strategy commissioned “Mergers as a Strategy for Success,” a study to explore how nonprofit organizations can use mergers as an effective and powerful tool to achieve their goals, advance their mission, and increase their impact. Analyzing 25 nonprofit mergers that took place in the Chicago metro area between 2004 and 2014, the study highlights the diverse paths these organizations took to arrive at positive outcomes with both qualitative and quantitative data.
