The Importance of Partnerships with Kim Newman

While a primary emphasis in the nonprofit world centers on donations, partnerships and time investments by industry experts and dedicated volunteers can be just as valuable to an organization's mission.

The Murdock Trust Partners in Science program relies heavily on this notion, pairing researchers in labs across the Pacific Northwest with high school educators, providing teachers an opportunity to gain hands on experience in the field.

Kim Newman, program director with the Trust, was a participant in the Partners program for many years before joining the Trust to lead the effort. In today's episode she shares how partnerships can help serve, support and uplift a nonprofit's mission as well as how organizations can help cultivate and nurture these sorts of connections.
