From our decades of experience working with non-profits here in BC, we know that to truly understand your organizational capacity, it takes an in-depth understanding of your organization, its history, its current realities, and its aspirations for the future.

This workshop supports you to diagnose your organization’s capacity in governance, management, financial resources, and administrative systems.

Learning Outcomes:

• Diagnose your organization’s lifecycle stage, pinpoint your exact growing pains, and plan next steps for capacity development.
• Identify steps for your organization to build capacity in governance, management, financial resources, and administrative systems.
• Self-assess your organization’s current stage using the Nonprofit Lifecycle Selfie tool.
• Apply the lifecycle lens and capacity framework to improve the impact of your mission and programs.

Testimonial:

“I was introduced to this model eleven years ago and have applied it to strategic planning processes and for planning new projects. Knowing what stage we are in, informs the questions we ask and the resources we need to focus on”. — Howard Jang, Executive Director, Arts Club Theatre Company
