Nonprofit Webinar: Assessing Capacity to Strengthen Your Organization Online

11:00-12:00 - Understanding Capacity Building

Our first hour focuses on capacity building. What is capacity building? How does it relate to self-assessment? When should an organization undertake these processes? What does the work involve?  

Drawing on her experience supporting nonprofits of all sizes, Eileen Newman will explore the process of analyzing an organization's capacity for growth and sustainability. Participants will learn how to evaluate organizational strengths and weaknesses and how to create a plan for improvement, including an overview of current leadership, finances, programs, and board responsibilities.

12:00-1:00 - Open Discussion & Troubleshooting

Our second hour will be for open discussion. Has your organization dealt with any challenges lately? Eileen and your nonprofit peers are here to lend advice and offer excellent resources to solve your organization's issues. This portion of the workshop invites questions, shared experiences, and collaborative problem-solving as you work through obstacles together. 

This workshop is for nonprofits at any stage.
