Interorganizational collaboration allows community organizations to work together to achieve common goals without duplicating services. Collaboration creates challenges when working with organizations from different sectors, but it can be achieved even if it is for a limited time. In this paper, we examine a case study conducted with collaborative partners from a private communications company, a small nonprofit organization, and a public/academic institution. In the findings, we offer ten themes for beginning the collaborative process, to better ensure its success to the end of the project and perhaps beyond. Through conclusions, we recommend strategies based on the case study and supported by the literature.
