Sustainability Project: MissionWise® Awarded Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Grant to Train Nonprofits in Business Planning
Seattle, WA (PRWEB) September 16, 2008 -- MissionWise®, the consulting division of Comprehensive Health Education Foundation (C.H.E.F.®) that helps health and human service nonprofits become stronger and more sustainable in their efforts to eliminate health inequities, announced that it has received a grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to kickoff the second wave of its training program for grantees on how to build organizational capacity and long-term sustainability through business planning. The training program, which commences in November, was preceded by a similar training program that MissionWise and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation successfully piloted with a diverse group of grantee organizations over the course of nearly three years.
Developed by the MissionWise division of C.H.E.F. and funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, The Sustainability Project will provide mentoring to two separate training classes, each over a one-year period, to help a variety of nonprofits improve their impact, operational effectiveness and financial sustainability. With a curriculum that encompasses training, strategy development, technical assistance, implementation and evaluation, more than fifty health and human service organizations will benefit from the project by acquiring the knowledge and skills they need to build and improve their business capacity. This program is predicated on the notion that nonprofits will have a greater likelihood of achieving their mission and financial bottom lines if they have a strong business plan and diverse revenue base.
According to Larry Clark, President and CEO of C.H.E.F., "We are honored to receive this second wave of funding for training from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, and are appreciative of their ongoing commitment and dedication to helping other nonprofits learn the skills required for building capacity and long-term sustainability." Clark continued, "MissionWise is uniquely qualified to help other nonprofits strengthen their management and business capabilities, retain their mission focus, and become more financially self-sufficient because we are part of a nonprofit that has been operating as a successful social enterprise for more than thirty years."
"The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation is pleased to collaborate once again with C.H.E.F. and its MissionWise division in the continuation of this unique and important sustainability project," said Jane Isaacs Lowe, PhD, Senior Program Officer at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. "Our decision to continue with this initiative was based upon the many successful outcomes that were achieved by our grantee organizations during the pilot training completed last October."
