Upcoming Webinar
Building Your Nonprofit's Capacity and Resiliency Appropriately…with Nonprofit Lifecycles 

Description

The COVID-19 pandemic has shone a glaring light on the survival of nonprofits everywhere, no matter what size or sector they operate in. 

So…chances are you know you need to increase your organization’s capacity and overall resiliency, but where to start? 

Too often, nonprofits are offered blanket solutions. But in reality, capacity-building approaches that are one-size-fits-all don’t always work. Consider the needs of a small and relatively new nonprofit versus a larger, more mature organization. They are vastly different! And in these lean times you can’t possibly focus on everything. So how do you choose where to concentrate your precious capacity-building resources?

Nonprofit Lifecycles

Enter the Nonprofit Lifecycles framework. Based on the award-winning book by Susan Kenny Stevens, and promoted by the Nonprofit Lifecycles Institute, Nonprofit Lifecycles offers a simple approach for determining the current stage of growth of your organization. It provides a straightforward method for diagnosing your most critical capacity-building needs in five key areas of operations given your stage of growth, and ways to help you move forward. 

In all my years of working with nonprofits, this is the most practical and effective tool I’ve encountered for helping groups to pinpoint what type of capacity-building they need and when. (Shout out to Vantage Point, nonprofit capacity-builders extraordinaire, for introducing me to this amazing tool!) 

You Will Learn

In this fun and interactive webinar, learn how to use this simple but powerful framework to diagnose and prioritize your most pressing capacity-building needs for your specific lifecycle stage. You’ll have an opportunity to:

  • self-assess your own organization
  • determine your current lifecycle stage
  • pinpoint your specific "growing pains" for your lifecycle stage
  • identify realistic steps to build your capacity moving forward.
