Webinar: Nonprofit Lifecycles Capacity Building

Description

The concept of lifecycle capacity building was developed by Susan Kenny Stevens, Ph.D., founder of the Nonprofit Lifecycles Institute and author of Nonprofit Lifecycles: Stage-based Wisdom for Nonprofit Capacity considered essential reading and a guiding force in the nonprofit community.

Nonprofit Lifecycles Institute is a community of nonprofits, funders, consultants, and academic practitioners who understand the direct relationship between a nonprofit organization’s operating capacity and the ability to effectively deliver the services and programs defined in their mission.

Both the book and Institute are built on the framework of nonprofit lifecycles and the seven stages of organizational development including: Idea, Start-up, Growth, Maturity, Decline, Turnaround and Terminal. 

In this session, you will:

• Learn about the 7 Nonprofit Lifecycle Stages
• Apply the stages to a real-life nonprofit case study
• Work with your team and Nonprofit Lifecycles certified consultants to determine where your organization is in the Lifecycle

Offered by our partners at Alliance of Arizona Nonprofits
