Our Work

Our programs, services, and research aim to build and strengthen all forms of capacity in the nonprofit community.

Nonprofit organization capacity building is the process of creating or enhancing those assets and resources within individuals, programs, organizations and communities to improve performance and advance their mission, vision and goals.

As described by Paul Connolly from TCC Group, there are four types of capacity: adaptive, technical, management, and leadership.
