About this event

Grassroots nonprofits of color play a crucial role in the nonprofit ecosystem. Despite this, many efforts to support nonprofits of color fall short. How does capacity-building look different when working with nonprofits of color? Join the authors of a recent Stanford Social Innovation Review article on Transformational Capacity Building as they cover the seven foundational elements of transformational capacity building that support grassroots organizations, with a focus on nonprofits of color. During this session, participants will get an overview of the key points of the article, opportunities to participate in breakout sessions and time to ask our speakers questions. Come ready to engage in a lively and thoughtful discussion.
