We know that we are more powerful together than we are individually. In our communities, we gather and organize to achieve great things together, but we also know that collaboration can be complex.\u003Cbr>We put together this Community Collaboration Agreement Toolkit to help you navigate the ins and outs of creating a written document that captures the spirit and details of your collaborative work together. It is important to have a written agreement, especially when there is money involved, to be sure that everyone is on the same page and so that you don’t have to rely on different people’s memories of what was agreed to.\u003Cbr>Often these community collaboration agreements are called “Memorandums of Understanding” or “MOUs.”For our purposes we are calling them “Community Collaboration Agreements.” These Community Collaboration Agreements are legal contracts. |\n| --- |\n| DISCLAIMER: This Community Collaboration Agreement Toolkit is for educational purposes only.
