    Resiliency Guide

    A discussion and self-assessment guide that helps funders and nonprofits talk openly about the pressures nonprofits face and reflect on organisational strengths and weak spots. First developed in 2014, it has gone through several versions and draws on the 2020 study Resilience at Work. Grantmakers use it to decide where, when and how to invest in capacity building, and grantees use it with their funders.

    Hiring a Strategic Planning Consultant

    A short essay for nonprofit leaders about to engage a strategy consultant. It sets out 4 distinct purposes for strategy work, depending on whether the need comes from inside the organisation or from shifts outside it, and whether the audience for the strategy is internal or external. It then explains how to find, choose and work with a consultant who fits that purpose, including how to build skills in internal staff.
