Module 6: Funding and Sustainability of Partnerships with Philanthropies

Rural organizations invest time and resources building relationships with philanthropies. However, no single philanthropy will be a partner in perpetuity.
Earlier sections of this toolkit describe strategies that can help rural programs prepare for and establish partnerships with philanthropies. This module focuses on strategies for sustaining partnerships with philanthropies.
For an overview of how to plan for the sustainability of your program, as well as strategies that would apply to any type of program, see Planning for Funding and Sustainability in the Rural Community Health Toolkit.
