Adaptability Statement
30 out of 30 points
The nonprofit has an opportunity to tell the story of how the organization adapted to tremendous external changes in the last year.
Our organization is in a period of rapid growth, so in order to sustain that growth while continuing to achieve maximum impact, a funder invested in a strategic review process run by experts in non-profit management consultancy. AS a result of this, we have fine tuned out theory of change, and created a plan for expansion, of which we are twelve months in. This has included investing in our organizational infrastructure, hiring our first COO in order to create the senior leadership needed as the organization grows, as well as an HR manager, an operations manager and a development manager.
Our external facing teams continue to mature, with a full Policy and Partnerships team now allowing us to create stronger working relationships with civil society partners and legislators. We have expanded our Comms team, to allow us to meet the need for both print and broadcast media coverage.
