Resilia Capacity Building Program

May 2024 — April 2025

Starting May 1st, EHF will be partnering with Resilia to provide a space where community-led non-profit professionals can access mentorship, troubleshoot operational challenges, and continue growing their impact while navigating the challenging journey of running mission-driven organizations with smaller budgets.

This cohort opportunity consists of a 12-month capacity building program for emerging and community-led nonprofits advancing health equity in work related to food and nutrition security, maternal health, and diabetes prevention in one or more of the counties within EHF’s 80 county service area.

Through this partnership with Resilia, we’re excited to offer the following capacity building supports at no cost to participating nonprofits:

Online academy courses, resources, and templates
Learn about fundraising software to collect donations
Tools for impactful storytelling
Custom dashboards to measure outcomes
Coaching from nonprofit experts

Interested in Learning More?

We know that change happens at the grassroots level, and this program is designed to support nonprofits with smaller budgets that historically may not have been able to access support for operational capacity building work. We also seek to partner with organizations that serve BIPOC communities and/or who focus their work in rural areas.

We are offering this opportunity to a limited number of organizations using an opt-in approach (i.e. first come, first served) to build this learning cohort. You do not need to apply to receive access to Resilia nor do you have to be a current EHF grantee.

Organizations with the following characteristics are welcome to participate in Resilia’s peer-learning cohort:

Interest in learning about building their organization’s operational capacity in areas such as: program development, fundraising, board governance, etc.
Commitment to engage in continuous learning and community building experiences through an online platform and virtual meetings for a 12-month period beginning May 1, 2024.
Registered 501(c)(3) organization or aspiring 501(c)(3) organization working in one of more counties within EHF’s 80 county service area
Has an annual operating budget under $750,000 for the most recent fiscal year
Has been providing support in their community for at least 2 years.
Has been providing culturally responsive supports or services in communities to advance health equity one of more of the following areas (programs do not need to exclusively address these areas, but it should be an intentional component of the services you provide): Maternal Health, Diabetes Prevention, or Food and Nutrition Security
Organization is intentionally attending to the needs of their community members in ways that value the strengths, cultural values, knowledge, and practices of that community (e.g. whose staff reflect the community they serve and/or live in the community they serve)
