Capacity Building Program Design and Management
For
funders, nonprofit associations, intermediaries, collaboratives,
and management support organizations, I provide technical assistance
to help you design and implement a capacity-building program for
your nonprofit grantees or constituents. This capacity-building
program can include a combination of training, technical assistance,
resources, networking, and mentoring. I also offer training and
technical assistance directly to nonprofits on the topics of Marketing
and Public Relations, Operating a Mission-Driven Social Venture,
Business or Strategic Planning, and Public Policy and Advocacy.
One program design I would highly recommend as a capacity building
tool is the Peer Learning Cluster.

Peer Learning
Organizations serving nonprofits such as foundations
and Management Support Organizations (MSOs) find it challenging
to operate capacity-building programs that are cost effective. Most
small- and medium-sized nonprofits cannot afford the cost or the
time needed to invest in a capacity-building program utilizing expensive
consultants. Methods that use technology and peer learning processes
may be one answer to this challenge. Webinars, listservs, and online
forums and social networking sites help accelerate learning and
information sharing. I can provide technical assistance to your
nonprofit association, foundation, or MSO as you develop innovative,
cost effective, and peer-based educational programs for the nonprofits
you work with. Click here

designed and implemented for a state association.

Marshall is adept at curriculum design, ensuring that it is always
customized to the audience and their learning needs. Her training
skills and presentation style utilize facilitative and experiential
learning. Her training style is friendly and flexible and she
consistently receives positive evaluations from training participants.
I hired Ms. Marshall as a consultant for a new SMA capacity-building

capacity building."
