WHY JOIN?

Many organizations have a strong mission and a desire to serve their communities, but struggle to secure funding because they lack the organizational systems, governance structures, and compliance documents that funders require. The Nonprofit Development Cohort II helps organizations bridge that gap by focusing on implementation, readiness, and capacity building.
