Stronger Boards Should Be Within Reach
We understand that not every nonprofit or community organization has the financial capacity to hire a private consulting team to support board development, governance training and organizational planning.
Fortunately, Saskatchewan organizations may have access to funding specifically designed to help:
Community Initiatives Fund: Nonprofit & Community Leadership Grant
The Community Initiatives Fund (CIF) Community Grant Program includes a Nonprofit and Community Leadership funding stream that supports initiatives designed to strengthen the knowledge and skills of nonprofit board members, staff and volunteers.
This can include training and resources that help nonprofit boards:
-
Strengthen governance knowledge and practices
-
Better understand board roles and responsibilities
-
Build stronger leadership and decision-making skills
-
Improve organizational effectiveness
-
Strengthen the capacity of the organization to achieve its mission
BoardStrong aligns directly with many of these capacity-building goals. Organizations interested in completing BoardStrong may wish to explore CIF funding as a potential way to help cover the cost of training and facilitation.
