Revolutionize Your Investments with the Lifecycles Model
It’s a fact that strong organizations often get the best results. By definition, capacity building is a measurable improvement in an organization’s ability to fulfill its mission through programs supported by management, governance, finances and systems. Investing in capacity building costs contribute to a nonprofit’s ability to perform from a position of strength.
Capacity building needs are different at various stages of organizational life. We have an assessment tool offered to Lifecycles Funders designed to facilitate your grantees understanding of their Lifecycles stage and address the corresponding capacity needs in a prioritized and non-judgmental way.
We also offer a variety of cohort capacity programs for Lifecycles Funders wishing to strengthen the capacity of a group of mission-critical grantees. Contact us for more information.
