This document discusses how nonprofits can adopt a networked model to achieve shared goals through collaboration rather than operating as isolated organizations. It advocates moving from a "fortress" model that separates insiders from outsiders to a "sponge" model with constant information sharing. Key aspects of the networked nonprofit discussed include empowering community members through micro-planning, providing support as needed, questioning assumptions about roles and processes, and accepting risk through experimentation and culture change. The presentation aims to help nonprofits better utilize networks and simplify processes to more efficiently achieve their missions.
