This is an online event.Nonprofit Survival Series: Foundations and Fundraising
Nonprofit organizations are systems within larger community systems. Your clients or constituents are parts of multiple systems, including your organization, that impact their daily lives. Tom Borrego will share a model based on family and community systems and help you learn how you can use this model to understand your organization and clients better. We will discuss how identifying and analyzing systems and contexts with this model can help improve programs and enhance strategic planning for your organization.
