Plan a Partnership Ending Before It Is Needed
A partnership needs a clear way to finish or change, especially when people and programs depend on it. Agree on transition responsibilities while the relationship is constructive.
When to use it
Use this when renewing an agreement or starting a time-limited collaboration.
Put It into Practice
- Identify the actual commitments, review dates and authorized contacts, then clarify how either party raises concerns or proposes a change through the agreed process.
- Plan what happens to participant communication, shared materials, equipment and outstanding tasks if the work ends, using existing agreements and appropriate advice where needed.
- Record the practical transition steps and revisit them at renewal; avoid making new promises after an ending decision unless both authorized parties agree.
What It Can Look Like
Two organizations agree who informs registered families and returns borrowed equipment if a shared clinic series cannot continue beyond the current block.

Take it with you: A thoughtful ending protects participants and relationships by making responsibilities visible, rather than leaving the final weeks to informal assumptions.
