| In what ways does our program build capacity? |
The program builds capacity by enabling organizations to:
- Engage consultants to assist with strategic planning, developing collaboration strategies, creating evaluation systems, developing and implementing human resources and volunteer policies, and to develop program needs assessments, to name some examples.
- Obtain or update technology and business equipment to operate more efficiently, including computers, printers, copiers, fax and voice messaging components, software programs such as databases, accounting and spreadsheet packages, web site development, publishing and marketing programs. Allowable costs can include maintenance/service agreements for new equipment and new software.
- Training staff, board members and volunteers in leadership, nonprofit management and program development to meet community needs.
- Training staff, board and volunteers in helping program participants’ access federal, state and local benefits, tax credits, social service benefits and financial literacy skills.
