PAST NONPROFIT COMMUNITY INITIATIVES

Arizona Nonprofit Capacity Building Initiative

The Arizona Nonprofit Capacity Building Initiative was formed in September 2001 to explore the need for and value of an umbrella, statewide nonprofit capacity-building organization. The initiative, comprised of representatives from nonprofits, foundations, and government, completed a feasibility study that included four major components:

A profile of the nonprofit sector in Arizona

An assessment of the capacity-building needs of Arizona's nonprofits

An inventory of existing capacity-building resources

An inventory of "best practices" and lessons learned from other states.

The Center was part of the executive and steering committee leadership throughout the process and provided vital research and nonprofit sector data.

The following reports, including the final report, were produced by the Arizona Nonprofit Capacity Building Initiative. To view or download a report, select the report title. You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader.

*NOTE: The reported estimate of the number of nonprofits in Arizona, included in the Final Report and attributed to Arizona Nonprofits: Scope of the Sector in Brief, is incorrect. This Final Report, therefore, is archived on this site for historical purposes only. For the correct estimates, please see the Arizona Nonprofits: Scope of the Sector in Brief, published by the Lodestar Center.

The Arizona Nonprofit Capacity Building Initiative was featured in the January 10, 2003 edition of the Phoenix Business Journal: Groups unite to give Valley nonprofits better exposure (Phoenix Business Journal, January 10, 2003)
