Community Foundation of the Lowcountry

Strengthening Nonprofits

A nonprofit's CAPACITY to grow, to fulfill its mission, and to operate efficiently and effectively is reliant upon the knowledge and ability of its board and staff, a strong governance framework, and a strategic approach to all of the aspects of its work - from program execution to marketing to fund development. Like any other skils, these are learned. And in many cases, those who volunteer to serve on nonprofit boards have not had the training necessary to assure their capabilities in these areas.

Over the past couple of years, the Community Foundation of the Lowcountry has recognized the need for capacity-building support, and has increased its services to include:

• "Charitable Connections"
• Nonprofit Board Orientation
• Board Roles and Responsibilities
• The Value of Endowments
• Consultation on Governance Concerns
