NLE: Mission Acceleration
Capacity-building grants enable organizations to hire consultants to help their board and staff accomplish work that requires time, energy, expertise, and innovative thinking beyond everyday operations. In general, the most successful capacity-building projects: address operational, management, or governance issues that affect the organization as a whole, rather than a single department or program, focus on a single core challenge or opportunity, rather than a patchwork of unrelated issues, are critical to the organization’s long-term success in achieving its mission.
