Capacity Building

Strengthening Our Community’s Capacity

We increase our community’s capacity to support children, families, and organizations throughout Alamance County by joining forces with community groups. Together, we are building leaders, achieving more than the sum of our individual efforts and boosting our collective impact.

To enhance the organizational health of our partnerships, we offer the following capacity-building resources to grantees and nonprofit partners to strengthen their growth.

Leadership Institute

This nine-month program provides nonprofit and government leaders with foundational leadership skills that are essential to enhancing their development and advancing the mission of their organizations or agencies. This program also serves as an opportunity to be introduced to our growing partnership and resource network.

Board Development

We offer tailored training opportunities for board development to current and past participants of the Leadership Institute.

Impact Alamance will directly pay for the consultant services once an application for capacity building technical assistance is approved.
