I recently had the opportunity to attend the Grantmakers for Effective Organizations conference in San Francisco. One of the key takeaways for me was the need for funders and nonprofits to work for changes in the systems that cause so many of the "problems" nonprofits struggle to resolve. Equity, leadership, advocacy, policy change, civic engagement were all recurring themes. Look at the LEAD Institute below as one way to begin.
CNE would love to hear from you about successes and challenges in your work, and ways that capacity building could strengthen your organization's impact. You can reach me at

Best regards,
Kaki Rusmore,
