The Nonprofit Capacity-Building Partnership, a collaborative leadership initiative between the Mathile Family Foundation and The Dayton Foundation, launched in 2021 with a goal to strengthen local nonprofit organizations in Montgomery County. Following a wide-reaching survey, an inaugural cohort of 34 individuals from 21 nonprofits was identified as needing greater support to address issues in the populations they serve. Since then, a second cohort is underway, meeting regularly for training and other professional development opportunities. Members brainstorm resources with other nonprofit professionals from organizations have similar issues and needs.
