When Nonprofits Thrive the Community Wins!
Our capacity building objectives include:
- Developing standard educational programs and tracks for nonprofits to improve their ability to provide services.
- Creating direct channels for individuals, groups, and businesses to connect with and expand nonprofit manpower through meaningful service.
- Fortifying nonprofit organizations by raising their ability to create diverse fundraising streams.
- Fostering collaborations among nonprofits and community by creating network groups that encourage relationship building
- Positioning nonprofits to confront barriers that keep individuals from reaching their potential by encouraging conversations, and providing resources, that cultivate an awareness of race, class, and gender inequality.
