 Healthy watersheds depend on healthy and strong organizations. Around our state, watershed associations are implementing quality programs and advocating for the protection and preservation of the environment. The difficulty is balancing the needs of a growing organization's operational challenges against an ever growing "to do" list. To help maintain this balance organizations need the tools to build a solid foundation to ensure lasting success. This Capacity Building Section provides the organizational development tools and resources for New Jersey watershed communities to build and increase their effectiveness for long-term water protection.
Imagine trying to navigate a long stretch of a river without a boat. It is possible, but definitely not ideal. The same holds true for working to complete projects without strong administrative tools and resources. It is possible to accomplish your goals without them, but certainly not ideal. Administrative tools and resources are the boat that keeps your organization afloat. They provide the strength to carry your group into the river and beyond.
The Capacity Building Section seeks to provide valuable resources on non-profit management issues and is organized into 5 sections: Administrative, Fundraising & Grants, Governance, Program Development, and Visibility. These pages will provide the beginning framework, but you should not stop here. In addition to these guidance pages, the Institute and other non-profit management training centers offer workshops in the New Jersey area to assist nonprofits.
