Effective Capacity Building in Nonprofit Organizations, published in August 2001 by Venture Philanthropy Partners, brings some common language to the discussion of capacity building and offers insights and examples of how nonprofits have pursued building up their organizational muscle. The report contributes to the growing national conversation about how to help nonprofits become stronger, more sustainable and better able to serve their communities. McKinsey & Company prepared the study at the request of VPP. McKinsey also developed a practical assessment tool for this report that nonprofits can use to measure their own organizational capacity.
This same page also includes ‘Venture Philanthropy 2001: The Changing Landscape’ which provides a comprehensive look at the state of venture philanthropy in the U.S. today. This report seeks to understand what venture philanthropy is, who is involved, what impact has it had so far. The report is presented here in three sections. The first section features a lead article that outlines the promises and challenges of venture philanthropy as well as a series of essays written by leading practitioners in this field. The second and third sections feature detailed information on the 37 venture philanthropy funds surveyed for the report.
