Services and resources include:

  • One-on-one technical assistance mini-sessions.
  • Skill-building courses for nonprofit leaders.
  • Access to a library of nonprofit resources.
  • Referrals to programs and resources.

Topics covered range from starting and organizing a nonprofit – such as bylaws, incorporation, and leadership training – to growing and sustaining one through fundraising, marketing, grant writing, financial management and stakeholder engagement.
