NA152 Surviving Harsh Elements: Enhancing a Native Organization’s SustainabilityHow can we help Native organizations and programs weather unanticipated storms and ensure sustainability in the long term? This course will begin by looking at key elements of sustainability including diversified funding, fee-based income, partnership building, program integration, succession planning, and peer networking. We will examine case studies highlighting these elements in successful organizations, as well as the reasons an organization may need to close its doors or discontinue programs. After looking broadly at sustainability, we will focus on one particular element of sustainability –evaluating progress and measuring impact. What impact is your organization making? What are the results of your work? This evaluation component will cover cultural aspects of evaluation, why it’s important, and how to do it. Through hands-on activities and exercises, participants will become more comfortable with evaluation data gathering and will be prepared to develop strong reports that share the impact of their work.Course length: 2 Days Tuition: $ 485 Course counts toward a professional certificate: No |
