Lifecycles Level Set
12-Month Cohort Program
Lifecycles Level Set: Nonprofit Capacity Building Cohort Program
The Lifecycles Level Set is a 12-month cohort program designed for up to 15 nonprofits, selected in partnership with the funder. This introductory program equips organizations to build capacity by completing a Mini Self-Assessment (referred to as the ‘Selfie’) and creating a 6-month Improvement Plan. The NLI team guides participants through virtual or in-person sessions, fostering a shared understanding of their Lifecycles stage across essential organizational areas.
Program Includes:
✔ Virtual Option: Nine 2-hour virtual group sessions OR In-Person Option: Three 4-hour group sessions (additional travel costs apply).
✔ Two one-on-one sessions between each nonprofit organization and NLI
✔ A Final Report, which includes consultant and nonprofit reflections, lessons learned, and key recommendations for sustained success.
✔ Each participant receives a copy of Nonprofit Lifecycles: Stage-based Wisdom for Nonprofit Capacity to aid their capacity-building journey.
Additional Considerations:
- Extra Books: Get additional print or e-book copies of Nonprofit Lifecycles: Stage-based Wisdom for Nonprofit Capacity at a reduced rate.
- Implementation Grants: Funding to support implementation of Capacity Improvement Plan working with the matched consultant.
- If In-Person: Considerations for Cohort Meetings: Location costs, other logistics, hosted lunch, and refreshments.
- Planning Timeline: Expect a 2+ month process to identify the right organization and match with a consultant.
