We're pleased to offer a new workshop through our Nonprofit Support Center on Nonprofit Lifecycles Capacity Building, hosted by Heidi Holtz.

Thrive, Don't Just Survive: Building Capacity for Lasting Impact
9 a.m. - 12 p.m.

In order for nonprofits to do their important work, they must be strong, capable and durable. In this interactive workshop you'll discover a straightforward assessment tool that looks not only at your programs, but also the requisite management, board, systems, and financial elements that support those programs. The Nonprofit Lifecycles™ Capacity Building model diagnoses your organization's current capacity, sets realistic and achievable goals for growth and sustainable impact, and offers practical tools and strategies to improve your organization's performance.

Participants
Ideally nonprofit teams of 4-6, a mix of board and staff (or all board for volunteer groups.)

Materials
Each participant will receive a copy of the Nonprofit Lifecycles Self-Assessment workbook.

Program

• Presentation and training on Nonprofit Lifecycles.
• Breakouts to work on case studies. Some tables will share out to the group.
• Further discussion of how assessments lead to work plans, and capacity growth.
• Breakouts for organization to work on their own, preliminary, self-assessments. The presenter will visit each table to provide guidance. If organizations are willing, time will be made available for some to share with the group at large.
