Creating restorative partnerships, like Dorill Initiative Inc & Grand Street Settlement, in the nonprofit sector is crucial for driving long-term, sustainable change. Unlike transactional relationships, which often prioritize short-term gains, restorative partnerships focus on mutual respect, shared goals, and a commitment to healing and equity. These partnerships address power imbalances and historical injustices, ensuring all stakeholders feel valued and heard. In a sector where resources are limited, restorative partnerships foster trust and collaboration, allowing for a holistic problem-solving approach that prioritizes community needs. By shifting to restorative partnerships, nonprofits can address root causes of social issues, strengthening their impact and advancing goals of social justice and change. #Nonprofits #Partnerships #Community #Change
