Capacity Building 2.0 Opportunities North Orange County Public - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

Capacity Building 2.0 Opportunities North Orange County Public Safety Task Force Presented by Laura Gil-Trejo, CSUF Social Science Research Center Tim Shaw, Tim Shaw & Associates August 7, 2019

Why capacity building?

“Capacity building is whatever is needed to bring a nonprofit to the next level of operational, programmatic, financial, or organizational maturity, so it may more effectively and efficiently advance its mission into the future. Capacity building is not a one-time effort to improve short-term effectiveness, but a continuous improvement strategy toward the creation of a sustainable and effective organization.” – National Council of Nonprofits

“Among all the forces affecting program implementation and survival, organizational factors have received little attention. Yet, programs are not the same as organizations. Research suggests that organizational factors are intricately tied to their ability to effectively implement new programs or expand existing programs” Schuh & Levington, 2006

Today’s Objectives • Present insights from the evaluations and survey of CBOs participating in Capacity Building Workshops in 2018/19. • Present Capacity Building 2.0 plan and schedule. • Process for registration in Peer Learning Cohorts.
