All too often, “capacity building” is an umbrella term referring to generic support to increase organizational effectiveness, leading to confusion over what high-quality capacity building entails.
When done with intention and thoughtful design, practitioners and funders are providing capacity building opportunities that meaningfully support the advancement of their work. In this 2021 U.S. Pro Bono Summit virtual session, participants will hear from Nonprofit Finance Fund, Prudential Foundation, and Taproot Foundation on the key considerations and insights connected to meaningful capacity building.
Pulling from real-world experience across multiple programs, including a Newark-based capacity building accelerator, panelists will leave attendees with:
- Cross-sector insights on the value of well resourced, network-based capacity-building programs
- A deeper understanding of the conditions necessary for convening, preparing, and executing equitable capacity-building partnerships that center beneficiary needs
- Methods for acknowledging and shifting the power dynamics inherently involved with external capacity-building support
