Our Full Circle Fund Capacity Building Workshops are the ultimate working sessions. With the help of our expert facilitators, we've crafted sessions focused solutions to on specific operational issues almost all small nonprofits are struggling with. To join our facilitators we fill the room with 20+ strategic volunteers and 10+ nimble nonprofit leaders to workshop together on the night's operational topic.

Who should come? Empathetic volunteers ready to act as thought partners. We'll have recruited nonprofit leaders who could use support with the topic of the session in their day to day work.

May 7th Session - Developing a Lean Theory of Change (TOC)

During this session, we'll work with our local nonprofit leaders to support them as they work to articulate how their programs, culture, and approach are aligned to make the change in the world. Teams will work together to create a lean framework for articulating and embodying the change of each organization wants to have. To support this approach our facilitators will run us through a series of critical-thinking exercises to better articulate the comprehensive set of changes and inputs that are needed to share how each organization archives their long term goals.

The resulting Theory of Change will be a roadmap to guide organizational strategy and outreach to specific funding audiences. This work will also serve as a support for organizations that will be going deeper with Full Circle Fund at our upcoming two-day strategic intensive brandUP.

This session will be lead by Full Circle Fund Member Jennifer O'Connor, Founder of Guidelight Strategies.
