Build a Clear Partnership Brief

Community partners · 3-page PDF · 15-25 minutes

Clarify audience, contribution, responsibilities, and the next conversation.

What this workbook helps you do

Good intentions do not settle the work of a partnership. Put the shared purpose, proposed activity, staff responsibilities, resources, and decision process in writing. Separate a proposal from an agreed commitment. Confirm costs, timing, safeguarding responsibilities, and any permissions before announcing a collaboration.

A practice example

A school proposes a workshop while a community organization proposes follow-up mentoring. A brief helps both parties see who is responsible for each part and what remains unapproved.

Inside the download

  • A short explanation and a worked example.
  • Five specific questions with room to write.

Designed for schools, nonprofit teams, and community partners. Print it or write your answers in a separate notebook. Bring the questions to a conversation; you do not need to share the completed worksheet with us.

Start with these questions

  1. What shared need would the partnership address?
  2. Who is the intended audience, and what activity is proposed?
