When partners disagree about the right time to end a mentoring organization

My best friend and I started a nonprofit together and we've been training community organizers for a decade, but our funding is ending and we have completely different ideas about whether to try to keep it going — she's ready to let it die naturally and I feel like we're abandoning everyone we've trained. We can't seem to have this conversation without it becoming about our friendship.

Worth thinking about

“Where Are You with Teaching and mentorship as legacy?”
