We are a cross-sector community devoted to building capacity in northeast Wisconsin nonprofit organizations.
What Is Nonprofit Capacity?
Capacity describes the wide range of capabilities, knowledge and resources that nonprofits need in order to be effective (from Grantmakers for Effective Organizations). Capacity building strengthens and stabilizes nonprofit organizations, improving their ability to deliver on their missions.
Nonprofit Leaders
Executive directors, CEOs and other leaders from northeast Wisconsin nonprofits commit, a year at a time, to building their nonprofit’s capacity. These leaders — a dozen or so at a time — guide organizations that provide food, housing, clothing, physical and mental health care and other basic needs.
Skilled Volunteers
Professionals with skills in HR, finance, IT, marketing or the law lead or take part in projects meant to increase a nonprofit’s capacity. They, in turn, build leadership and communication skills.
Donors and Philanthropists
Individuals and foundations invest in strengthening nonprofits through gifts and grants.
