FUNDERS
It’s a fact that strong organizations often get the best results. And though our field does not like to fund overhead and infrastructure, it is exactly those types of capacity costs that contribute to a nonprofit’s ability to perform from a position of strength. Yet capacity looks different at various stages of organizational life. We have an assessment tool designed to facilitate your grantees understanding of their lifecycle stage and address the corresponding capacity issues in a targeted, non-judgmental way. Contact us for more information.
We also offer a variety of cohort capacity programs for funders wishing to strengthen the capacity of a group of mission-critical grantees. Contact us for more information.
