Part 3: Sample Memorandum of Understanding

Sample Memorandum of Understanding

Partnerships are one of the strongest tools for closing the gaps young people fall through, but they only hold up if both organizations know what they've agreed to and who's responsible when things change. This fillable MOU template gives you a starting point for formalizing a partnership with a community organization, so the agreement can:

  • Establish shared purpose and clear roles between your organization and a community partner
  • Set up communication points of contact so no one is left wondering who to call
  • Build in a plan for staff transitions, so the partnership survives turnover instead of starting over

What's Included

  • Purpose and background
  • Roles and responsibilities (organizational and joint)
  • Communication and points of contact
  • Succession and continuity planning
  • Term, termination, and confidentiality
  • Signature page
