The primary objective of this study is to introduce a comprehensive framework that encapsulates the life cycle of collaborations between businesses and nonprofit organizations. To better attain this goal, we conducted a systematic review of the literature on business-nonprofit partnerships, examining 108 articles published between 2000 and 2023. Through this analysis, we offer an inclusive examination of the four principal phases inherent to business-nonprofit partnerships: formation, formalization, outcomes, and termination. The proposed integrative framework is built upon key insights gained from each of these phases, and outlines the factors associated with these topics. Thus, we identify current research gaps in the life cycle of business-nonprofit collaborations and provide a research agenda to address these aspects. This article contributes substantially to the advancement of business-nonprofit partnerships, serving as a valuable resource for both academics and practicing managers. |
