OVERVIEW
“Capacity building” means a lot of different things in philanthropic circles, and nonprofits’ reactions to the idea range from confusion and annoyance to relief and delight. Is it an important funding strategy to help nonprofits grow, or a strategy that makes donors feel good but gets in the way of nonprofits getting what they truly need?
On this webinar from AmPhil’s Donor Advisory , we’ll hear from two major capacity-building grantmakers about their answers to this question. We’ll also dig into their respective approaches to capacity building, and hear about their successes, failures, and the wisdom they’ve gained along the way.
If you’re a donor, this webinar promises to “demystify” capacity building and give you some ideas on how to help your favorite nonprofits with targeted, capacity-building support. If you’re a nonprofit, you’ll gain insight into how grantmakers think about their support strategies.
