The Feasibility Assessment is the next step after a Board decides to explore a merger with an other organization. Boards of Directors will want to assure themselves that a merger has every likelihood of success before they begin negotiations. The merger feasibility study is just that, an exploratory phase so the organizations involved and the funders can be assured the merger is worth the effort.

Before proceeding to merge two or more agencies it is critical to evaluate whether there will be any benefit gained from the merger and whether the complex process will yield the desired results.
