About The  Hopi Foundation's

Capacity Building Services

Since 1987, The Hopi Foundation has acted on a vision of building local self-determination toward our destiny through proactive community participation. The Capacity Building Program supports constructing local self-determination through fee-for-service training and internal resource development training (with our staff). It also supports investments in our community via facilitating cross-sector collaborations to leverage resources to further local, rural community development.  

 

In honoring the Hopi Foundation's goal to strengthen community through collaborative actions, the Capacity Building Services provides training in the areas of Fundraising, Board Development, and Strategic Planning to local nonprofits, tribal organizations, villages, the philanthropic sector, and external stakeholders to strengthen their internal organizational capacity.

In addition, we have conducted local and Community Based Research and continue to work with our community through avenues of Facilitation, Community Organizing, and Networking around issues that matter most. 

Key Measures of Success

1. Community Capacity Building

We provide training locally to strengthen organizational growth, management practice, and stewardship of assets that compliments Hopi values and perspectives.

 

2. Program Capacity Building

We manage our programs using cultural perspectives infused with Western tools & training to monitor and measure program impact and self-sufficiency, practice effective management, and long-term financial sustainability. 

​

3. Education & Advocacy

We convene and facilitate cross-sector collaborations at the local level to further community development. We advocate on all levels with foundations, private donors, government, businesses, and nonprofits to educate, build awareness of needs, and connect our community with resources to further their work.
