The non-profit organization Centro Cientifico Tropical (CCT) wishes to create collaborative, long-lasting partnerships with organizations that support their mission of protecting the biological corridors and wider environment of Costa Rica. Our goal was to develop a set of criteria and generate a method for selecting organizations that could be valuable partners. We interviewed members of CCT to gauge their wants and needs in a partnership. We researched different organizations that may be of interest to them and developed criteria for appropriate partners. We recommend that rating companies based on their reputation, accessibility, added value, work in conservation technology, and past work in conservation are the most effective ways to find suitable partners for our sponsor.
