Description Social problems are complex, increasingly so, yet resources allocated to deal with these problems have declined. Nonprofit and government agencies tasked with providing social services to individuals are joining forces to solve the most complicated problems faced by society. The Palmer Court Employment Pilot in Salt Lake City, Utah is an example of one such nonprofit/government collaboration. In a yearlong case study analysis, data from the Palmer Court Employment Pilot were collected and analyzed to reveal both strengths and weaknesses of the collaborative approach. The reported findings, in combination with a synthesis of previous literature, serve as a foundation for a ternary framework of interagency collaboration focusing on: (1) cultural dynamics, (2) relational dynamics, and (3) practical dynamics. The theory posited serves as a starting point for further research on the intersection of nonprofit/government collaboration.
