An ‘Old’ Amuta + A New Initiative = A Win Win Situation: David Maeir Epstein- CEO
The partnering of an existing Amuta with a new initiative by outsiders, who otherwise might have set up their own new Amuta, can reap benefits for both. While there are potential downsides relating to financial and policy control, freedom of action, ego, and publicity/public relations, these are resolvable. Marriage too has similar demands for adjustment - but the results are usually tremendously gratifying - children and grandchildren in the case of marriage- and tikun olam in the case of focusing on your objectives and projects in a more effective way. The new project and its leaders will add additional activity to the resume of the existing nonprofit, contribute towards overhead costs, and bring new potential funders onto the existing organization's radar screen. An agreement with the existing organization will save money and tens of hours every year for the new project's initiators and make its time more efficient, benefiting from the financial and administrative procedures already in place. It's a win-win situation.
Why an Existing Amuta should welcome a new initiative with open arms:
1. The existing Amuta will be able to take credit for new areas of action without investing its own funds.
2. The existing Amuta will be introduced to new potential funding opportunities via contributions to the new project. A relationship with these donors can and should be developed by exposing the donors to the Amuta’s vision, target population, programs and services.
3. Administrative expenses can be charged to the new initiative, reducing your overhead. Whatever you charge will surely be less than it would have cost the new initiative on their own.
4. The developers of the new project could well become a source for innovation and energy for the overall organization.
