I like when global services firms report on the nonprofit industry and this is one such case. This one has a video overview and confirms trends that underscore that the nonprofit industry is returning to pre-COVID norms particularly when it comes to philanthropy.

No one knows or understands the capacity gaps in their organization more than the nonprofit itself. #trustbasedphilanthropy #capacitybuilding #nonprofits "In the name of equity, some foundations have taken a “no strings attached” approach to capacity building, believing that nonprofit skill and competency assessments are misinformed or overly informed by funder preferences. Others are going further and asking whether the philanthropic sector should redefine the ways it supports grantees through capacity building or cancel it altogether, citing a lack of funder reciprocity and the reinforcement of harmful power dynamics in practice." https://lnkd.in/erhA-Qq8

The issue of "limited resources" is cited as a key problem for so many nonprofits. To remedy this issue, strategic collaborations and partnerships can expand an organization's scope and impact. I've noticed that there is a lot of room for new collaborative projects that can be mutually beneficial, and this is a crucial step toward building real community solidarity. #Nonprofit #OrganizationalGrowth #NonprofitFinance

“By working together, foundations and grantees can engage in capacity-building work that leads to exponential results.” In the name of equity, some foundations have taken a “no strings attached” approach to capacity building, believing that nonprofit skill and competency assessments are misinformed or overly informed by funder preferences. Others are going further and asking whether the philanthropic sector should redefine the ways it supports grantees through capacity building or cancel it altogether, citing a lack of funder reciprocity and the reinforcement of harmful power dynamics in practice. Anu Malipatil and Lucy Brainard of the Overdeck Family Foundation explain why the foundation rejects this binary and embraces mutual accountability between strategic capacity building and trust-based philanthropy. https://lnkd.in/gcjdHJAe
