You don't have to navigate capacity challenges alone.
You know your organization best.
When you know what you need but not where to start, Capacity Navigation can help.
We can help you find where to start.
Support tailored to your exact challenge.
A Capacity Navigator works with you to identify what's holding you back, then connects you with the funding, consultants, and guidance you need to move forward. Thanks to our local fundraising, we can make projects affordable.
Grants cover project costs through a shared co-pay model built around your real needs.
Common areas where nonprofits ask for support:
- Strategic planning
- Board development
- Marketing & communications
- Fundraising & development
- Leadership & staff development
- Volunteer engagement
- Operational & financial management
- Other areas, as they come up
Capacity building supports nonprofits by strengthening the systems, structures, processes, cultures, skills, and resources that are needed to effectively serve their communities and meet their missions.
A sounding board and support you can return to.
Capacity Navigation isn't a one-and-done project. It's an ongoing resource you can tap whenever a new challenge comes up. Select any step to see how it works.
Identify the challenge
Explain what's holding you back. Your Navigator will help you pin down the issue, whether it's an old problem or something new.
Before we start, we get to know you.
Here is how we start working together before any project is scoped.
Listen deeply
We aim to understand the whole picture: what needs are most acute and what's beneath the surface.
Diagnose the need
Together, we pinpoint and prioritize what matters most.
Navigate to resources
We connect you to the right people and support, and we can help make what you need affordable.
Grant funding. Clear co-pays. No surprises.
Once a project is scoped, your Navigator takes care of the financial details so you can focus on the work.
Your organization pays a small co-pay based on your budget, while grant funds secured by Causewave cover the rest. You work directly with the consultant you choose, and your Navigator handles paying the bills from the grant so you don't have to manage the paperwork.
Your Capacity Navigator
Your Navigator works alongside your team to understand your specific challenges, connect you with the right funding and experts, and support you through completion and beyond.
Bring us your capacity challenge. We'll help you find where to start.
