Scenario

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.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Deciding when to release what you've built requires facing different relationships to legacy and different tolerances for letting go.
