AbstractPublic and private funding sources often require nonprofit organizations to provide evidence of partnership
with a governmental entity before financing a project. However, the circumstances under which working
partnerships between the nonprofit and public sectors are forged and sustained have not been fully studied. This
article presents the findings of a case study of land trusts and local governments and identifies conditions
that foster successful collaboration. Social factors such as experience on the part of key personnel in working
with the opposite entity and genuine affection for each other are more important than economic benefits. This
suggests that a nonprofit agency interested in creating a viable partnership to improve a project should give
careful consideration to assigning staff.
