It would be great for nonprofits to work together, but I think the nature of independent nonprofits is to work independently. This wastes resources, but if one nonprofit is doing things poorly, the other may be able to things better.

Important points about the role of nonprofits. As a retired ED I think one of our most valuable contributions was bringing together people who otherwise would never have met. World views and prejudices shatter in minutes. Nonprofits are often the canary in the coal mine - alerting to the gaps in services; and also very creative in meeting needs and responding to change. Getting things done, together. Trudging towards transformation sometimes, but deeply satisfying, too.
