Built on the Nonprofit Lifecycles™ model created by Dr. Susan Kenney Stevens, POWER emphasizes a “meet them where they are” approach to capacity building, and helps small & grassroots organizations assess where they are in their growth journey, while addressing critical challenges, and developing a work plan tailored to their needs.

Our Senior Consultant, Maria Fibiger, leads the POWER capacity building cohort for her fourth time and is excited to have the opportunity to again be part of such an innovative initiative of The Gifford Foundation, which recognizes the vitality of grassroots organizations to the community.
