Capacity Building Resources
Leap Sessions
As the Community Foundation, we know that Lancaster County is at its most extraordinary when we’re all challenging ourselves to learn, grow, and find new (or time-tested) ways to develop ways to care for our community. We are proud to leverage the wealth of local expertise, insight, and innovation to bring our community the most exciting slate of free learning sessions yet. We hope you will join us for one or all of these opportunities, and bring your questions, ideas, and hopes for taking this learning beyond the session into our shared work of building a more equitable future for our community!
Baldwin Leadership Program
The Baldwin Leadership program supports the personal leadership development of individuals in Lancaster County. This 18-month program consists of each Baldwin Leader’s development plan, an overnight retreat, monthly cohort meetings, and informal gatherings throughout the year.
Baldwin Leaders represent a strong cohort of leaders who reflect the diversity and passion of our community.
PRC Workshops
PRC is hosting three series of workshops that address fundraising, finance, and organizational leadership.
Catalyst: Nonprofit/CBO Roundtable
From grant writing to volunteer management, governance to leadership development, Catalyst: Nonprofit/CBO roundtable offers strategies, resources and insights you need for your community benefit organization to succeed.
Each session will provide a deeper dive on critical topics influencing your efforts to serve as a catalyst for change in Lancaster County. Collaborate with other nonprofit professionals and share your own experiences to take your organization to the next level!
Grant Opportunities
We know that Community Benefit Organizations (CBOs) have unparalleled knowledge and experience working with Lancaster residents and addressing the needs of our community. Your work inspires us and brings essential support to residents across our community.
Rooted in our organizational philosophy and values, the Community Foundation remains committed to cultivating a culture of equitable and inclusive opportunities in Lancaster County and we hope to partner with you.
Organizational Endowments
Endowments are a tool for your organization’s long-term sustainability. They are assets (cash, stocks, real estate, and more) that are donated to your community benefit organization, with the expectation that the principal is not spent and is invested to earn interest.
When you create an endowment at the Lancaster County Community Foundation, we aren’t just creating a fund – we’re forming a partnership. We’re on your team when it comes to organizational stability and sustainable funding. The Community Foundation currently partners with over 70 community benefit organizations across Lancaster County to administer and support the growth of their endowments.
And we want to partner with your organization as well!
