Capacity-Building Information Exchange
The Center for Nonprofit Management, Nonprofit Finance Fund, and the Taproot Foundation have partnered to develop a comprehensive Capacity-Building Information Exchange for Los Angeles. The grant will be used to develop a robust, coordinated Capacity-Building Information Exchange for the region in order to provide Los Angeles’ nonprofit organizations with the ability to effectively connect with appropriate, quality capacity-building services.

The Information Exchange will also serve as a regular forum for nonprofit organizations, capacity-builders and funders to plan and coordinate a capacity-building strategy that enables Los Angeles County’s nonprofit organizations to be well-led, sustainable and to ultimately achieve greater impact.

The planning grant is funded by the following nine foundations: Annenberg Foundation, California Community Foundation, First 5 LA, The California Endowment, The Durfee Foundation, The Eisner Foundation, The James Irvine Foundation, The Ralph M. Parsons Foundation, and Weingart Foundation.
