Interorganizational Network Portfolios of Nonprofit Organizations: Implications for Collaboration Management

Scholarship typically focuses on the characteristics of both within-sector and cross-sector partnerships of two collaborating organizations or all partnering organizations involved in a collaboration, but we know little about the patterns of interorganizational relationships that single nonprofit organizations maintain. This research draws upon surveys from 452 nonprofits and introduces nonprofit
