Foundations and nonprofits alike are grappling with a growing challenge: how to build lasting capacity in organizations that are stretched thin, facing mounting demands, and navigating constant turnover. Too often, capacity-building programs spark excitement but struggle to create long-term change—leaving leaders with knowledge, but not the time, structure, or support to put it into action.

This resource expands on the insights shared in the Resilia-hosted webinar “A Peek Behind the Curtain: Inside Successful Capacity-Building Programs,” featuring Jill Roshto of the Louisiana Alliance for Nonprofits and Samantha Franklin of the Ms. Foundation for Women.

Discover:

• Why capacity-building falls short—even when organizations are eager to grow

• What really happens when only one person holds the knowledge

• A real-world example of capacity building that worked

• A framework for embedding capacity building into real work—not on top of it

• Practical guidance for funders seeking lasting impact
