Have you ever played the Six Degrees of Separation game?
The idea is that we are all somehow connected by as few as six people. My
friend Angela and I were marveling at the number of people I know that she
knows, and these are people who we didn’t even know that the other knew.  Sorry, that sounded like a bad rendition of an
Abbott and Costello show. I think you get the point.

This made me think about nonprofit organizations. How
connected is your organization to others? Some people may not see the necessity
in it, but there is. No organization can survive/thrive without the support of
others. So, find complimentary organizations and form alliances. So, if your
organization feeds the hungry, you should be aligned with food banks, churches,
and maybe even other soup kitchens to provide overlap and support.

Find ways to connect to others. Do you need suggestions?
