Donation recipients receive capacity building in Auckland Dunedin and Wellington

Posted on 2 October 2012 | 0 Comments

Each year The Tindall Foundation offers the opportunity to apply for tailored packages of capacity-building to small community organisations funded by us in the last three years. The regions that will be eligible for 2013 are Wellington, Dunedin and Auckland. 

The capacity-building scheme is managed for us by NFPWorks Ltd., a business which specialises in capacity-building support for not-for-profit (nfp) organisations. NFPWorks Ltd. has experienced nfp advisers that tailor their advice to the needs of the organisation and provide tools and resources for the organisations to be more effective in delivering their mission.

The below quote came to us from a 2012 recipient of capacity-building with NFPWorks Ltd.

“The value of the capacity building package is worth more to us than all the money we have had to date - we have now knowledge, processes, tools and so much more confidence in who we are - we have been taught how to feed ourselves. It was like someone from the outside breaking an egg and looking inside - we thought, hey we would like to be part of that group - and then we realised we are! It’s like we have moved from being amateurs to professionals. It has been a learning and growing journey. Our work is clearer, simpler and much easier now. The success of the package was in part due to the process used but also due to the people we worked with.”
