My Communities

My name is Nicholas. My organization is a Mission Healthcare Facility which was established in 1937 and has been striving to ensure it offers compassionate healthcare, spiritual ministry and also training healthcare professionals for service. I believe that the organization is at the amplification stage of growth since it has 3 satellite clinics/dispensaries which offer services. It also receives donor funds which are used to focus on the realization of the needs and betterment of services towards effective an efficient achievement of its mission.

My name is Oluwaseun Aremu and I and my colleagues are working on establishing a nonprofit, though we've carried out our first project by sharing of palliative during the pandemic. We are working on our next project, I believe we are at the initiate stage because we don't have standardized structure yet

My name is Mazin I'm a founder of a nonprofit Organization ME I CAN (M.I.C) , which is offering distinction services for youth with disabilities by supporting and advocating them by organizing many local competition, that helps them to recognize their talents so donors can reach them and give them an appropriate assistance,
one of the famous competition is 'I can do it' which is 10 of more than 100 participants would eventually qualified to the final and they would be eligible to get an award that helps him to begin his scheme or project.
M.I.C (Me I Can ) has begun two years ago .The Start beginning wasn't convinced me as founder, because we've faced many obstacles including, fund lacking, strict sanction by U.S against Ex-government which is negatively affected our initiate phase and the demonstrations during the country uprising against the Ex-government SUDAN
DECEMBER REVOLUTION.
All those obstacles had formed together as a barricades from getting fundraising from global Organizations and individuals donate .
Now we are at a stabilize stage and quiet better than last year.

My name is Montana Njaaga and I work for a non profit that trains low-income women and girls, empowering them through education and specifically, Hospitality education. My organisation was established in 1992. We received funding to put up the permanent structures and purchase equipment. Initially, we would train women from their shanties about food production, hygiene and basic literacy. We later changed this when we got the building set up and we acquired the space where we are operating now. We started with Tailoring courses with a little Food Production. Eventually, we went full scale into Hospitality making it a certificate course. Our main programs are the Kimlea Business Centre for training adults, and the Full Time Hospitality Management Certificate Course for recent highschool graduates. We are not financially stable and we maintain few staff members and rely heavily on donations. We charge little but offer quality education which is expensive. I believe we are in the Stabilise Stage.

I am Oguntuase, Mary Aderonke from Ekiti State southwestern part of Nigeria. I founded an NGO during April, 2020 during this pandemic.

The vision of this NGO is to help pupils and students choose their career based on their talent and to enlighten parents to help their children to choose their careers without imposition.

Hello, my name is Helen and I work at an NGO that focuses on providing pathways for refugees in Mexico and around the world to access Mexican higher education institutions (with full scholarships and financial, academic, medical and psychosocial support provided). The organization is already operating for five years, and we have now four different programs.

We are strategizing on that, so I believe we are most likely in the Growing phase.

my name is Kwembe Lawrence, I founded The Leadership Tower Foundation (TLTF), a nonprofit aimed at raising a community of young leaders properly equipped to influence and change the world around them positively.

We are still struggling on the ways we can reach out to more people. on our inception, we launched a program, Leadership and Skill Development (LSD) Program to train secondary school students on leadership and entrepreneurship skills. we have great challenge with funding and mobilizing people to execute our program. Though we understand our vision and what we need to do, funding has been a serious lid. I certainly believe we are in the initial phase.

The organization has not employed new staffs for the past 10 Years although some times it engages consultants for services needed. The organization is in the growth phase since it is not financially stable and the leadership is not well developed,

Hello my name is Moses working with Non Communicable Diseases Alliance of Kenya

I'm on a working Board that has made an impact and gotten attention for the work it has done however, it is not sustainable because it is all being done by the E.D. Now that the organization is forced the grow, the Board must work on creative ways to expand. We are in definitely in the first phase because the structure is not in place to continue to grow.

My name is Brianne Hendricks and I work for a nonprofit called Parish Proud. We started a year ago, but have had some program successes so I think we're transitioning from Initiate to Stabilize.

My name is Nori and my organization is one of the oldest humanitarian organizations in the world. We are now in a phase where we have reached almost 20,000 staff and have been implementing new people strategies for the last three years which have fundamentally changed how we work. We are probably in the amplify stage but as we manage new programs we are also stabilizing in a way.

Hello, my name is Ilan and I'm currently working for a non-profit organisation based in Jakarta, Indonesia. My organisation has had its own vision, missions, and a number of completed and on-going programmes. We have conducted regular M&E for each programme to ensure that it has benefited its beneficiaries. These programmes are supported by various stakeholders including private and public sectors. However, we're trying to expand our programmes and exploring new programmes with new working partners/donors. Thus, I believe my organisation is currently at the Grow stage.

That is why I believe we are in the Initiate phase.

My name is RB. I am the President of an NGO that assists disadvantaged students to gain access to fully funded educational opportunities. The organization is governed by an Executive Council that is led by myself as the President and comprises a Vice President, a Secretary, a Treasurer, and a Public Relations Officer. Currently, our organization has no formal strategy in place. This often makes articulating our mission to stakeholders a challenge. It is, for this reason, I place our organization at the Initiate Growth Stage.

Sharing is caring.

I do believe that funding, consultation, teamwork and horizontal as well as diagonal communication are the best factors attribute to capacity development.

My name is Favour N Eloagu and I work at a nonprofit that trains young adults to start and build their own businesses.
My organization is a year plus, though the COVID 19 interupted our plans, we can still say that we have passed the initiate phase and have entered the stabilized phase. We have passed the hurdles of trying to craft our vision, mission and values and still running a spcific program to running different programs that are within our organization mission. Though fund most times poises a challenge, we raise funds among ourselves and individual donors.

We’re still working on perfecting our concept, which falls within the initiate phase.

We’re not sure how we’re going to be financially stable. That is why I believe we are in the Initiate phase.”

My name is Margaret, I work in a nonprofit organization whereby we help local farmers into adapting to modern farming. The organization started four months ago and we are still in process of getting farmers to try and get out of their comfort ways. It's a bit slow considering all the challenges involved but we are taken one step at a time and dealing with one client at a time. And I believe we are still in initiate phase.

My name is Blessed Chidhoni and l work for a non profit Research organization that collects data and publish articles monthly on a variety of political issues in Zimbabwe focusing on Democracy. This organization has been operational for 13 years yet it’s research and employment talent base has not expanded due to limited resources.

That’s why l believe we are initiate stage.

I am Potiphar Damiano and am working with Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation (EGPAF). My organization is mainly focusing on having greater impact as it operate in about 17 countries.

EGPAF is helping to build capacity of other NGOs as currently has a number of NGOs sub-contracted to it. This is why I suggest that my NGO is in the AMPLIFY Stage.

Therefore, I consider us to be in the Initiate phase.

My name is Marc Savary and I run an org that provides scholarship to filipinos students whose families can't afford studies. the org started more than 20 years ago, we have one program with currently 32 scholars. We're financially stable since we have long term partners. The number of scholars decreased from previous years when it reached 50 or 60. We've only one staff permanently working, she's here almost from the beginning, THat's one of the concern, for the future and sustainablility.

Take a moment to reflect on your own organization. In the discussion below, introduce what your organization does and the growth phase you believe best describes your organization. Include evidence to support your reasoning.

For example: “My name is Ali Karim and I work at a nonprofit that trains low-income adults to start their own businesses. My organization just got started six months ago and we are still figuring out our vision and values. All of our effort goes into running our one program which teaches adults how to run a business. We’re not sure how we’re going to be financially stable. That is why I believe we are in the Initiate phase.”

My organization is interested in rendering awareness on mental health and wellness, we have a comfortable number of staff and have reached out Target audience; adolescents and youths, most especially young women. Funding has been a challenge and we hope to surmount and make greater impacts, we are at the initiate level set for the stabilize. Thanks.

I am Charlie Uldahl, founder of the NGO Walking for Water whom raises funds to establish boreholes in developing communities in Africa. We've been operational for 6 years, successfully establishing 21 boresholes of various type and size. Until recently I've been managing most key areas myself but for the last year more volunteers have gotten involved and the various responsibility areas have been defined and divided.
I believe we are still in the Stabalize phase, as all key areas aren't yet occupied and the organisational structure isn't clear.

My name is Sakshi Shrivastava and I work at a nonprofit that gives long term, multi year grants to grassroots organizations led by women, girls, and trans people. My organization just launched a new strategic model and we are still in the process of making small tweaks into our very ambitious plan.

My name is Rory, and I work with a church & their separate nonprofit to provide various poverty services in a rural area. These two organizations are in different stages, I believe; the church has been providing many of their programs, like a food pantry and afterschool childcare, for many years and is adding more programs like adult ed classes. I believe the church is in the grow phase, as it is working to expand the number of people each program is serving and is turning to grants to fund them. The small nonprofit, however, is a bit newer, its 3 years old and has mainly focused on providing free meals to the homeless and a support group for people in recovery from addiction. They don't have many personnel and no long-term financial goals in place, and they're trying to start a new housing program in the next year. I think they are somewhere between stabilize and grow, because they still have a lot of work to do to become stable enough to grow more, but they are trying to add more programs on top of the ones they've maintained the past 3 years.

My name is Diana and I work at a philanthropic Educacional Instituition that runs a program for the past 17 years that seeks to estimulate the volunteer work . This year, we are launching a program to help nonprofit organizations building capacities to increase their social impact.

So, we are definitevely in the initiate phase.

my organisation has been operating with only a few health staff and have been overwhelmed with the number of clients who came to seek health care. Managed to employ more nurses but were newly trained. The organisation is looking forward to employ skilled staff in different areas of training. I feel this organisation is still in the Growth Phase.

My name is Bronscar Masani, I work with a Community Based Organization, the organization offers a free basic computer course to youths, reading and writing club to orphans and vulnerable children and pay school fees. These programs have been running for more than five years so I believe we are at the stabilize phase.

At this stage, you've to get everything right since this is the first phase in the long process of capacity building.

My name is Amaka Nwaokolo. I work in a 21 year old non-profit that is focused on providing enterprise knowledge and support to enable Nigerian businesses start, grow and scale sustainably. I believe we are in the amplify phase as a key focus area for us is generating greater impact in terms of increased number of businesses and jobs and contribution to Nigeria's GDP. We are big on research and policy advocacy and our goal is to influence policy design, review and/or implementation.

Hello, I am Ope Oguntoye, cofounder of an NGO that helps underprivileged members of the community gain access to resources that give them a better life.

We recently started out four months ago and have conducted a needs assessment in our community of interest for the year. We are now at the phase of trying to develop programs and project best suited to provide solutions to their problems we have gathered.

As a result, it is safe to say that we are in the Initiate stage.

Hence believing that the organisation is in the Initiate stage.

In this stage you must work hard in oder to move in to the next one that you will see the impact of your project

I work in a government agency that focuses on helping and generating impact for entrepreneurs and startups in the ecosystem. I believe we are in the Amplify stage since the activities that we are doing are geared more towards developing the "sector" or the startup ecosystem that we are in.

All our program is focused on identification of sexual and gender base violence, still struggling about finance to move about the communities that is why I believe we are still in the initiate phase

Getting to know the key seven areas of capacity building is a key starting point as it clearly identifies the focus of all relevant areas. Identifying the growth stages of an organization's development clearly spells out where to start.

In module 1, it is clear that we have to assess all the seven areas to find in which of these areas to build capacity by identifying the growth stage of each area and then prioritize based on which is really wanting.
