  1. Overview of CI Strategy for Collaboration and Partnerships

  2. Who Are Our Potential Partners? • Financial supporters —Individuals, public sector, for-profit business sector, foundations, etc. • Public and private sector partners collaborating on program implementation • Individuals and institutional partners providing strategic interventions

  3. What is Our Current Strategy? • CI focuses on working through partners. • A majority of our funds will be expensed through partners

  4. Marine Examples CI Marine Program Partner Statistics: Seascapes: • BHS: 11 Partners $521,728 in grants • SSS: 29 Partners $1,238,462 in grants • ETPS: 31 Partners $2,578,799 Total: $4,338,989 (2006-2007) Grants MMAS: • Over 50 Partner Organizations • Over 100 Researchers • $6,080,000 in grant money over 4 years (2 previous years, plus the next 2 years) Total: $1,520,000/year

  5. What are the Benefits of the Strategy? • We are able to achieve conservation outcomes at a scale we can not achieve alone? • We can have a growing base of collaborators in fostering change? • This is a strategy for sustainability of conservation effort?

  6. Other Benefits? • We can leverage funding because our donor community is attracted to our working with partners. • Including other BINGOS.

  7. Other Benefits? • Does our strategy for building the capacity of partners work? • By building their capacity to conduct programs? • By building their capacity to attract funding independently? • Do we actually invest in building capacity or usually just provide experience in project implementation?

  8. What Challenges are Presented by the Strategy? • We are faced with managing an ever-expanding granting and oversight process? • We must evolve internal standards and procedures to accommodate such growth and change? • How do we select the right partners?

  9. Other Challenges? • How to determine needed field presence adequate to maintain CI interest and to ensure successful implementation without eroding the partnership strategy? • How do we maintain donor and partner focus on the outcomes? • How do we demonstrate value-added to donors for CI re-granting when they observe they would provide funding to partners directly?
