Editor's Notes

  1. What does ‘capacity-building’ mean? How can it benefit your organization as well as those you serve? From federal agencies to community foundations, funders are increasingly encouraging grantees to engage in capacity-building efforts. In this session, gain powerful insight into the world of capacity building. As a three-time Compassion Capital Fund intermediary that has worked with hundreds of faith and community-based organizations, JVA Consulting will share its tips and strategies for leveraging grant opportunities to strengthen your organization’s ability to achieve its mission, attract additional resources and develop sustainable, successful practices. 
  2. "actions that improve nonprofit effectiveness" (from Investing in Capacity Building by Barbara Blumenthal, published by The Foundation Center)
  3. Organizational strength contributes to program effectiveness Stronger capacity means a stronger organization, thereby helping deploy scarce resources more effectively
  4. The federal government has invested in building the capacity of FBCOs through it’s Compassion Capital Fund. Funds cannot support direct social services or inherently religious activities - such as religious instruction, workshop or proselytizing.
  5. To date, we have provided capacity building workshops to over xx FCBOs. We will fund up to 10 FCBOs, distributing $200K
  6. Goal of increasing effectiveness in 5 areas… Nonprofit leadership —To develop the skills of nonprofit leaders Organizational development—To improve the leadership and administrative structure of the organization Programs/services—To improve and/or create effective services for communities Funding—To develop and diversify funding streams Community engagement—To develop collaborations and community involvement
  7. Taken from CCF guidelines, these may spark ideas on the areas of capacity that may need to be built or strengthened at your organization.
  8. JVA has developed a comprehensive approach to capacity building that is customized for the needs of the individual client. Using this approach, JVA has developed the capacity of hundreds of organizations. The approach encompasses: Organizational Assessment: When an organization initiates its relationship with JVA, a staff member assesses its current capacity using the JVA Organizational Assessment Tool. This tool measures an organization’s capacity in 12 different areas, including governance, fundraising, program development, evaluation and community collaboration. Work Plan: After the organizational assessment is completed, a JVA staff member develops a work plan that aligns with the assessment. The work plan describes the work to be performed with the client, a timeline and persons involved. This enables both the staff member and the client to track and plan for one-on-one capacity building services. Training: JVA typically offers a series of training workshops to organizations involved in capacity building. JVA has developed an 11-module training program that addresses all core areas of nonprofit management: board development, financial management, fundraising, program development, evaluation, foundation and government grant writing, marketing and public relations, and volunteer management. These workshops lay the foundation for one-on-one consulting that follows. Client participation in workshops is tracked in our database. Consulting: JVA’s staff members provide one-on-one consulting in all areas of nonprofit management. We are skilled facilitators, conducting sessions on strategic planning, fundraising planning and business planning with our clients. We have also helped establish financial management systems and evaluation plans as well as client tracking and contact databases. All staff and consultants have access to JVA toolkits, so that clients have access to the most current and best information on different subject areas such as nonprofit governance. Consulting work is tracked in our database, allowing us to determine the amount and types of consulting an individual client receives. Follow-Up Assessments: JVA conducts a follow-up assessment using the same tool used for the baseline assessment. The follow-up assessment, when compared to the baseline assessment, helps us understand whether or not our capacity-building interventions were effective. By factoring in the consulting and training the organization received, we can see what interventions may have contributed to capacity building gains. Ongoing Technical Assistance: Even after organizations “graduate” from our capacity-building programs, JVA is committed to developing their capacity. We do this through a variety of means, including online support, emailed opportunities, a listserv and opportunities for peer networking. We constantly look for opportunities for our clients that will advance their missions.
  9. The 12 areas are ranked on an overall scale of zero (weak capacity) to 172 (strong capacity). Outcomes and outcome indicators are identified for each area of the assessment tool, which serves two purposes: キ  To diagnose needs and strengths before a group starts its capacity-building program and thus determine the scope and type of follow-up technical assistance and consulting キ  To provide baseline information on the organization, a critical element of the capacity-building evaluation.
  10. So how do you get started building your organization’s capacity?
