About The Program

Equitable Access to Capacity-Building Resources

Funders sponsor the Resilia program for their grantees, nonprofit partners, and fiscally sponsored organizations to enable three entry points into comprehensive capacity-building resources. Nonprofit partners then get to decide what support they need, how and when, depending on their organizational needs, urgency, and preferred mode of support.
