Eleven Central New York nonprofit organizations that are led by and serve socially, culturally and economically diverse residents were chosen by the Central New York Community Foundation to receive training and coaching that will help them work more effectively. The Community Foundation partners with an exclusive online platform called Resilia to bring this opportunity to Central New York organizations.
Resilia offers technology and one-to-one coaching to support effectiveness, creativity and workflow in nonprofits across the country. The selected organizations have access to a suite of on-demand tools and resources to support organizational growth and impact, including online trainings, educational materials, and templates on fundraising, marketing, strategic planning and board management.
This year’s cohort includes the following organizations: Baby Momma Association; Deaf New Americans Advocacy; Our Generation Against Violence; The Joe Family Foundation; Syracuse Knyaw Community; Black and Gold Athletics; Sacred Art of Rising (SAOR); Parents Involved Outreach Program (PIOP); Black Artist Collective; Focusing Our Resources for Community Enlightenment (FORCE); and Power CNY.
“The ongoing support and tools offered through Resilia helps our community’s vital organizations develop their boards, raise funds and tell stories that will help them have a greater impact with the populations they serve,” said Qiana Williams, program officer at the Community Foundation.
In addition to the training, chosen organizations will also benefit from nonprofit coaching on core functions like fundraising, program management, storytelling, leadership development and board engagement. An in-platform grants database of more than 60,000 grantmakers is also available.
This year’s cohort will participate in online training and coaching for 11 months and will benefit from continued access to their data upon completion.
