Capacity Building Services

With help and guidance from Michigan's Management Support Organization (MSO) Network, in addition to many leaders of the nonprofit, government, and private sectors, the Michigan Nonprofit Association has developed Principles & Practices for Nonprofit Excellence in Michigan (P&P). P&P is the cornerstone of MNA's Capacity Building efforts, and specifically targets Michigan's 501(c)(3) corporations. The training and resources MNA offers around the following Principles & Practices provide a planning and assessment framework to advance nonprofit performance and drive mission achievement:

- Planning
- Governance
- Human Resources
- Financial Management
- Evaluation
- Transparency and Accountability
- Fundraising
- Public Policy and Advocacy
- Communication
- Information and Technology
- Strategic Alliances
- Volunteer Engagement

MNA offers a variety of programs and services that target these 12 principles and increase the organizational capacity of nonprofit organization programs, staff, board members, and other volunteers. These include:

- Conferences - MNA offers several conferences throughout the year, including Michigan's Nonprofit SuperConference, the state's largest gathering of nonprofit professionals.

- Workshops - On an annual basis, MNA provides regular classroom style trainings, workshops, and webinars. These events all include formal and informal opportunities for participant interaction.

- Customized Trainings - MNA provides custom training for boards of directors, collaborative groups, and other cohorts on specific topics. Customized training may be a self-contained vehicle for learning and information or may serve as a precursor to more in-depth consulting.

- Statewide Training Calendar - In addition to these services, MNA also offers members access to a statewide training calendar, containing numerous capacity building opportunities provided by Michigan's MSO Network throughout the state.
