Nonprofit Capacity Building Boot Camp

The Spartanburg County Foundation and Spartanburg County Government partnered to provide a capacity building opportunity for emerging nonprofit organizations and leaders. Through instruction, peer learning, and problem solving, leaders are exposed to solid, practical concepts that build a foundation for a healthy, sustainable organization. Selected nonprofit organizations represented by their Executive Director and a Board Member or volunteer, receive training and Technical Assistance in a five-week program that meets once per week for an intensive look at mission, organizational structure, programming, data, stakeholder engagement, messaging and marketing, and sound financial practices.

The application window for the 2025 Nonprofit Capacity Building Boot Camp has closed. It will re-open in spring of 2026. Until then, the Foundation will continue offering its Nonprofit Connect learning sessions. You may sign up to received the Nonprofit Connect newsletter HERE.
