Description

Let's discuss ways to enhance your nonprofit's efficiency and achieve optimal outcomes. When evaluating the philanthropic health and potential of your nonprofit organization, have you assessed the 3 Cs: Culture, Capacity and Competency? These three dimensions offer a comprehensive and practical framework for assessing readiness to effectively fundraise, particularly through the lens of both staffing and volunteer leadership.

Each “C” provides critical insight into how to engage with the full solicitation cycle—from identification and qualification to cultivation and solicitation, and finally through stewardship and renewal.

This episode is hosted by Global Philanthropic Canada's own Jeff Sodowsky. Jeff is Vice President, Pacific and Senior Consultant. This episode features two special guests: Barney Ellis-Perry, CEO of the Nanaimo & District Hospital Foundation and Kirsten Koppang Telford, CEO of The Forum.
