Community Impact |
United Way of Henry County & Martinsville Will Focus on
Non-Profit Capacity Building Through A New |
| |
| Working to Strengthen the Non-Profit Community |
To help build a strong foundation of nonprofit services in the local community, the United Way of Henry County & Martinsville has launched a Nonprofit Capacity Building Initiative, funded generously and exclusively by The Harvest Foundation.
Over a three-year period, United Way will manage the initiative to ensure the local nonprofit sector has access to ongoing availability of training, materials and web-based resources and technical assistance in the areas of organizational development, growth and sustainability, communication, collaboration and sharing of resources.
The goal of the initiative is to assist nonprofits in becoming as efficient and effective as possible in serving the most critical needs for those who live and work in Martinsville and Henry County.
There are six projects, fully funded by The Harvest Foundation, which will help build capacity for the Martinsville and Henry County nonprofits. The first project, the hiring of a Resource Development Director who would manage the initiative during its three-year schedule and be a consultant to nonprofits in the area, began in May 2004. A local and nationwide search concluded successfully with the hiring of Tiffany Haworth, who was Vice President of the Lake County United Way located in the North Suburbs of Chicago, IL. Haworth?s background includes extensive identity, foundation and strategic planning experience in the corporate sector and a decade of communications, marketing and community building experience in the nonprofit sector. She began her new position of Resource Development Director on August 4, 2004.
?Research shows that the health and quality of life in a community depends heavily on the services and programs offered by the nonprofit organizations in the region,? said Haworth. ?United Way is poised and ready to assist our nonprofit community in addressing the many critical issues facing Martinsville and Henry County.?
Other projects in the initiative, which will be completed by 2006, include: establishing a nonprofit resource library, enhancing United Way?s website by adding a searchable database for volunteer recruitment and adding a nonprofit list-serve, continuing the availability of training and technical assistance for nonprofits, creating a forum through which nonprofits can collaborate and share knowledge, and ultimately developing a nonprofit academy that will offer certification and college credit in nonprofit leadership and management.
United Way?s website (www.unitedwayofhcm.org) will highlight the progress of the initiative so both the public and local nonprofits can keep updated on new learning opportunities. For more information or to get involved in the initiative, non-profits can contact United Way of Henry County & Martinsville at (276) 638-3946.
