Non-profit merger: An uncommon journey toward a Common Future

Emily Mochizuki Lutyens July 7, 2022

Nonprofit mergers are rare; in fact, most attempted mergers fail. Yet if we are tackling big missions (e.g. how to reimagine and rebuild an economy that works for everyone), we need as much power as we can get.

In 2022, Uncharted and Common Future successfully merged, combining decades of experience and valued staff into one.

Learn from the CEO of Common Future and former Managing Director of Uncharted how these two mission and culture-aligned organizations merged to become a more powerful entity together focused on economic and racial justice.

How did we do it, what were the big take-aways, what have we learned after 6 months of integration, and what are the prerequisites and components that are most important in beating the odds?
