Increasingly, nonprofit organizations engage in interorganizational collaboration to address large‐scale social problems. Scholarship typically focuses on the characteristics of both within‐sector and cross‐sector partnerships of two collaborating organizations or all partnering organizations involved in a collaboration, but we know little about the patterns of interorganizational relationships that single nonprofit organizations maintain. This research draws upon surveys from 452 nonprofits and introduces nonprofit network portfolios, which we define as the number, integration, intensity, and duration of relationships that nonprofits purposefully develop with other organizations. Using 12 network measures, Ward cluster analysis revealed three distinct network portfolios: restricted within‐sector (n = 319, 70.58%), which included limited collaboration and prioritized within‐sector partnerships; robust within‐sector (n = 80, 17.70%), which included more nonprofit partnerships than restricted within‐sector portfolios; and cross‐sector (n = 53, 11.72%), which had a rich assemblage of integrative partnerships with nonprofits, businesses, and government agencies. Further, nonprofits that maintained each type of portfolio differed in their revenue and social mission, suggesting these factors are related to the types of collaboration that nonprofits maintain. This study makes contributions to existing research on interorganizational networks and cross‐sector collaboration and suggests practical and policy implications for nonprofit network management.

非营利组织的组织间网络产品组合：对协作管理的影响

非营利组织越来越多地参与组织间合作以解决大规模的社会问题。奖学金通常侧重于两个合作组织或参与合作的所有合作组织的部门内部和跨部门伙伴关系的特征，但我们对单个非营利组织维持的组织间关系的模式知之甚少。这项研究基于对452个非营利组织的调查，并介绍了非营利组织的网络投资组合，我们将其定义为数量，整合度，强度和持续时间非营利组织与其他组织有目的地发展的关系。Ward群集使用12种网络度量方法进行分析，发现了三个不同的网络组合：受限制的部门内部（n = 319，70.58％），其中包括有限的协作和优先的部门内部合作关系；强大的部门内部（n = 80，17.70％），其中包括非营利性合伙企业多于受限制的部门内部投资组合；和跨部门（n= 53、11.72％），其中包含与非营利组织，企业和政府机构的整合合作伙伴关系。此外，维持每种投资组合类型的非营利组织的收入和社会使命也有所不同，这表明这些因素与非营利组织维持的协作类型有关。这项研究为有关组织间网络和跨部门协作的现有研究做出了贡献，并提出了对非营利网络管理的实践和政策含义。
