Partnerships that multiply us
Strategic partnerships, scouted and carried
From the strategic plan: we are always scouting for partners whose work multiplies ours, youth programs, publishers, funders, and the Alliance. Scouting is everyone's job; the Chair and the ED carry the relationships.
The test every partnership must pass
- 1. It advances a pillar
- 2. It keeps our name on our work
- 3. It never costs us our focus
| Organization | Type | Relationship carried by | Status | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Haiti Libraries Alliance | Library network, 12 member libraries | Chair + ED | active | Site verification partner for school gates; shared training |
| Summits Education (sample) | School network, Centre | Chair + ED | active | Library system mentored since 2018 |
| Mitch Albom's Haiti mission (prospect) | Youth programs, Port-au-Prince | Chair + ED | exploring | Lee's referral; first conversation to schedule |
| Indianapolis church network | Warm circle, book drives | Fundraising seat | warm | October drive underway; named partnership offer drafted |
| Diaspora association, Montréal | Warm circle, diaspora | Fundraising seat | warm | Kreyòl ambassador candidate for the megaphone plan |
A new prospect lands here from any seat, the concierge, or the grant scan. The Chair and ED review the list monthly; anything that passes the three part test gets a named owner and a first conversation on the calendar.
Partner accountability
Every partner carries required documents and a definition of success. No documents, no partnership; no definition of success, no renewal.
