MFH Capacity Building Initiative
Overview
The Missouri Foundation for Health (MFH) is an independent nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the health of the people in the communities they serve. As one strategy for supporting this mission, MFH funds capacity building programs that will develop a health-related organization’s and/or coalition’s ability to achieve its mission and serve its community.
MFH is committed to the area of capacity building for nonprofit organizations and will continue to seek out innovative ways to support health-related nonprofits in their work. It is this committment that has fostered a collaborative partnership with NSC.
Beginning with the 2007 programming year MFH has chosen NSC to serve as the primary contact for their Capacity Building Initiative. Components of the Capacity Building Initiative include:
Capacity Building Grant Program
Funding plans for the 2007 Capacity Building Grant Program (formerly known as the Strategic Organizational Development (SOD) Grant) includes two grant cycles in spring and fall. Grant applications will be available to health-related organizations online through the NSC web site. Applications will be accepted beginning on May 1, 2007. Learn more.
Training and Workshops
Twenty-six workshops, offered throughout Missouri in 2007 and targeted to health-related nonprofits, will provide learning and enrichment opportunities specifically focused on strategic thinking, skill-building, and organizational leadership. Topics range from Grant Writing and Fund Development to Board Recruitment and Human Resource Management. Learn more.

NSC will host a day and a half retreat for Women Executive Directors as a celebration, networking opportunity and kick-off event to future leadership development programming.
