Abstract: This PRAXIS-oriented article explores how individual faculty members on research sabbatical can support nonprofit and community-based organizations through capacity-building partnerships. Drawing on detailed field notes from a semester-long collaboration with six nonprofit organizations and one government agency, the article illustrates concrete ways that academic expertise can strengthen data collection, evaluation, and strategic planning, while also improving the quality of the partnership between the academic partner and the organization. These findings are contextualized in the literature on academic-nonprofit collaboration and framed as a reflective case study that highlights implications for practice, especially for faculty at metropolitan universities.
