Strengthening Nonprofit Performance: A Funder's Guide to Capacity
Building (Connolly, P. and Lukas, C. November 2002. Amherst
H. Wilder Foundation.) - Funders who want to maximize their grant
making are turning to funding capacity-building core activities
that help their grantee's organizations function well. While the
title of this practical guide suggests that it is geared toward
funders, the authors state that it also is written for organizations
seeking funds. Its content provides a synthesis of recent capacity
building practice and research, resulting in a collection of strategies,
steps, and examples that funders can use to get started on or improve
their funding to strengthen nonprofits. This hands-on guide also
includes dozens of examples, worksheets, and contact information
for organization assessment tools, capacity-building providers,
and publishers.
Use the information and resources to build your organization and increase funding opportunities. Find the book by visiting sites such as http://www.amazon.com
