Nonprofit Knowledge Exchange

Welcome to the Valeriefleonard.com Nonprofit Knowledge Exchange. This interactive forum was developed with you in mind. You may use this space to ask questions of other nonprofit practitioners, share articles that you think others may find of interest, or share your concerns about some of the challenges that currently face the nonprofit sector.  The moderator will post discussion questions to get you started. Remember, the forum is only as good as the information that our members provide. In order for this system to work, we must use it like Chicago voters vote--early and often. I look forward to a lively exchange. Click here to start sharing.

Forum 1:

Capacity Building Blocks
This forum was designed for participants of Capacity Building Blocks, a 10-week workshop series for nonprofit leaders who are serious about maximizing community impact. Workshop participants may respond to follow up discussion questions, encourage one another to complete capacity building projects, share information and other capacity building resources. To learn more about the Capacity Building Blocks series, click here.

 

Forum 2:

Stimulus Funding
This forum is provided so that you may share your insights regarding the impact of Stimulus Funding on local nonprofits. You might want to share your experiences applying for funds; administering the grants; share pointers as to how to navigate the funding and administration processes, etc. This forum could be particularly useful in exploring ways Stimulus Funding may be more accessible to local organizations that are more likely to be on the front lines of social service delivery.

Forum 3:

Staying Afloat in Troubled Waters
The current economic situation, coupled with the political climate at the State and Federal levels have wreaked havoc on nonprofit organizations' budgets. A number of organizations have considered merging; trimmed staff, cut back on hours, discontinued vital services, or even closed their doors. What is your organization doing to weather the storm? Would you care to share your stories of survival?
