The document discusses the next generation of partnerships between non-profits and governments. It suggests that these partnerships will involve 1) standardized and faster information sharing through data portals, 2) open government data empowering citizens and non-profits, and 3) technology-supported collaboration and engagement through tools like micro-volunteering websites, wikis, and apps that can benefit the entire non-profit sector. The document raises questions about how to effectively partner through co-creating technology solutions and addresses challenges and opportunities for collaboration.
