A MUST-READ | [The 3 Cs -- Contextual; Continuous; Collective]
Stephanie DotyThe End Result: Capacity
Grantmakers want to support their grantees in having the greatest impact possible, and capacity building is a key means of achieving that end. But the diversity of the organizations grantmakers support makes it difficult to be clear on best practice. Based on fifteen years of experience with our members and conversations with nonprofit leaders, GEO believes that by taking an approach that is contextual (tailored to the unique needs of the grantee), continuous (taking the long view), and collective (considering how the parts add up), grantmakers will be well positioned to provide capacitybuilding support in ways that effectively support nonprofits to achieve lasting impact.
