Strategic partnerships The Forum actively partners with external organizations and scholarship programs (e.g., Gilman Program, EUASA, AIFS) and hosts regional events, signaling openness to co-branded initiatives and collaborative grant-funded projects that could be leveraged for joint proposals, sponsored events, or shared scholarship expansion.

Access and equity Recent initiatives like the Community College Access Scholarship demonstrate a commitment to widening participation in education abroad. This creates sales opportunities for partnerships with community colleges, outreach programs, and services that support inclusive recruitment, program design, and scalable scholarship administration.

Quality assurance As the Standards Development Organization for education abroad, The Forum offers certification and quality assurance programs (QUIP and Professional Certification). Prospects include selling training curricula, certification prep, and accreditation-related consulting to institutions seeking to align with recognized standards.

Thought leadership With a focus on intentional and resilient education abroad and a history of conferences and regional seminars, there is a sales opening for sponsored events, speaking engagements, and tailored professional development tracks for institutions aiming to enhance their education abroad offerings.

Funding readiness Revenue range indicates a mid-sized nonprofit capability with a potential appetite for grant-writing support, sponsorships, and technology-enabled donor stewardship tools. Solutions around fundraising platforms, grant management, and donor communications could be valuable to expand financial sustainability and program reach.
