At a recent meeting with nonprofit managers, only a few of the fifty
attendees were familiar with the notion of stakeholders. This was
surprising because connecting meaningfully with stakeholders—the people who
influence and are impacted by an organization’s choices—is vital to
sustainable mission fulfillment.

This article explains who stakeholders are and why all organizations should
know theirs. It also shares tips for how to identify and work with
stakeholders in meaningful ways to promote equity and improve
decision-making. It concludes with a systems-based approach to thinking
about stakeholders that illuminate interdependencies among people,
organizations, sectors, and societies.
