Training your grantees to become financially sustainable may be the best investment you can make. The alternative of continuing to fund them year after year not only ties up more capital, but makes your grantees even more dependent on your generosity. Our Sustainability Series focuses on the transformational process used to move organizations from a charity mindset to one of sustainable investment. This strategy has been used successfully in over 300 nonprofits across the country, and requires moving beyond outcomes to actually demonstrating the value of the outcomes to those you are asking to invest in your organization. These sessions introduce the Organizational Value Proposition� concept as a tool for strategic planning, program development, and fundraising. Participants will work through the process of developing a finished Sustainability Plan, complete with individual assistance, that specifically addresses the unique challenges that face their respective organizations. Participants will leave the sessions knowing:
