Program Development - Scottsdale, Arizona, United States
Organizational Capacity Building works with non-profits, schools and districts, municipalities, and businesses to sustain and improve high quality programs. We provide consulting services such as program evaluation, grant writing, sustainability planning, professional development, meeting facilitation, and building cross-sector partnerships. We work with organizations driven by world-changing missions, with the goals of building your internal capacity, strengthening partnerships that will extend your reach, and ensuring that your programs have the greatest possible chance of achieving your goals.OCB evaluates small- and large-scale projects using rigorous mixed-method qualitative and quantitative research methodology. We work to develop an evaluation plan that fulfills all requirements of the funder and addresses specific goals and values that make your project unique. We view the role of program evaluator as one of technical assistance, including participating in data-driven decision-making ensuring that the data is both useful to both program leaders and direct service staff. The Organizational Capacity Building team has written more than $50 million in local, state, and federally funded grant applications since 2011. We work with your teams to craft proposals that fit with your organizational mission and successfully respond to RFPs. OCB can support both local and state grant-writing projects, which typically last for 6-10 weeks, as well as federal proposals requiring months of advance planning. OCB can support you in developing a comprehensive sustainability plan, articulating feasible funding goals, identifying appropriate funding sources, planning your development calendar, and developing a diversified portfolio of funding. We approach consulting from a research perspective – by learning as much as we can about your organization, we provide you with recommendations and action steps that emerge from the data.
