Impact and Testimonials
Hear firsthand how the Lifecycles approach has impacted cohort participants, funder-supported programs, and graduates of Lifecycles 101 and 201.
Lifecycles Capacity Cohort Participants:
“Working with Nonprofit Lifecycles Institute helped increase our multi-partner collaboration between the New Jersey Department of Children and Families and a group of culturally specific programs doing incredible work serving communities across the state.
The thoughtful insights and support provided by NLI will have a lasting impact on our respective work and will continue to help us grow and sustain these and other meaningful partnerships. We are grateful for the opportunity to work with Nonprofit Lifecycles Institute and would partner with them again!”
“Completing the ATLAS cohort program through Nonprofit Lifecycles Institute was a catalyst for our organization, board, and staff. Through the funding of the consultant and the projects, ATLAS gave us the next step. It allowed us to contemplate what we could be – creating that possibility or the inspiration of that possibility.”
“This training has offered me a fresh perspective on leading and sustaining our mission. It has empowered me to approach challenges with clarity, plan strategically, and continuously strive for progress, while staying grounded in balance and order. This training will undoubtedly shape the way we evaluate, strengthen, and advance our organizational goals.”

Lifecycles 101 and 201 Graduates:
“This training has offered me a fresh perspective on leading and sustaining our mission. It has empowered me to approach challenges with clarity, plan strategically, and continuously strive for progress, while staying grounded in balance and order. This training will undoubtedly shape the way we evaluate, strengthen, and advance our organizational goals.”
“I’m so glad I did this training! It was so informative, and I really appreciated learning directly from Jennifer as well as getting to learn alongside my peers who brought their own expertise into the conversations. I will feel more empowered and knowledgeable to apply what I’ve learned in my work related to capacity-building and technical assistance with both Grant partners and Sponsored Projects.”
“This training didn’t just provide valuable tools – it ignited a renewed sense of excitement and determination for our work. These concepts are not only practical but also empowering, as they enable us to approach leadership and organizational development with purpose, clarity, and enthusiasm. The Lifecycle 101 experience has certainly left me inspired and eager to apply these lessons to propel our mission forward.”
“The Nonprofit Lifecycle Workshop was a great refresher—while I came in with a solid foundation, I still walked away with new insights. It gave me a much deeper understanding of the lifecycle phase of different aspects of our organization, including the key indicators that reveal where we are in the cycle. It also highlighted specific steps we can take to strengthen weaker areas and prevent potential decline as we move forward.”
