To help strengthen your capacity, everything we offer builds upon skills that you and in your organization already hold. We help you meet critical organizational needs and provide you with tools and trainings that build skills and support your organization’s long-term health. We offer a range of services, including trainings, clinic opportunities, and cohort models of support.
Our aim is that you will feel connected and supported to take on the challenges involved in building power in your community. Together, over time, we’ll begin to transform our communities, as well as the nonprofit, microenterprise, public, and philanthropic sectors.
While we would love to assist everyone, please note our services are intended for Washington state organizations.
Organizational Support Cohorts
As a member of one of our peer groups, which we call cohorts, you will collaborate with leaders from other community organizations in a space where you can be seen, heard, and supported to achieve your goals. Together, you will engage in peer learning, culturally responsive trainings, and individualized coaching to strengthen your organization. All cohorts are by application only, for information on an upcoming application period please contact us. For more information on our Seattle-based Capacity Building Cohort, click here.
