A New Vision for Comprehensive Capacity Building

Do the nonprofits you support have what they need to thrive and produce results? The nonprofit sector has consistently struggled with retaining strong staff, fundraising effectively and achieving long-term sustainability. Now, more than ever, funders need to ensure that nonprofits are strong enough to provide sustainable support to our most vulnerable communities.

We know that grantmakers can bolster nonprofit effectiveness and results by supporting capacity-building initiatives, thus ensuring their grantees have what they need to deliver on their missions over the long haul. This dynamic and comprehensive workshop will tackle the essential questions that drive the design of effective capacity building support. Developed with information and insights gathered over many years of working with grantmakers on this topic, A New Vision for Comprehensive Capacity Building takes participants on a deep dive into understanding what matters most when it comes to building a successful capacity building program.

Some of the things we’ll experience together include:

• the benefits of contextual, continuous, and collective capacity support;
• examples of capacity building work underway in your region;
• peer sharing about successes and challenges; and
• how to learn from and continually improve capacity building support.
