Million Mom March and the Brady Center for Hand-Gun Control - CWV worked with two of the nation's leading gun control organizations to structure a merger that would take full advantage of the unique strengths of each organization. The similar missions of the two organizations enabled CWV to bring the parties together in joint meetings to negotiate critical merger issues such as name, structure, board, staffing, and focus. The new organization combines the legislative advocacy and financial strength of the Brady Center with the grassroots support and volunteer base of the Million Mom March.

Fannie Mae Foundation - CWV researched and developed an extensive report on the potential impact strategic alliances and mergers can have on the nonprofit sector. The report profiled numerous case studies and lessons learned from the field. Additionally, it developed a practical guide for any nonprofit considering a strategic alliance as well as a high-level look at the impact the strategy might have in the Washington, DC Metropolitan area.
