Attention San Mateo County Nonprofits, Public Agencies, and Commissions: Bring Fresh Thinking and Skilled Capacity to Your Organization

Does your organization have an important challenge or opportunity that could benefit from fresh perspectives, strategic thinking, and additional capacity? A CAP Team can help you:

• Move an essential project forward
• Develop a new service offering
• Research a topic, solution, or best practice
• Strengthen an existing program or organizational practice

Applications are now open for Leadership Council SMC’s 2026–2027 Community Acceleration Projects (CAPs).

Leadership Council SMC will pair selected San Mateo County nonprofits and public agencies with a team of five to six Leadership Immersion Program participants from the Class of 2027. From January through May, each CAP Team will contribute approximately 60–70 hours of pro bono expertise to help your organization advance its mission.
