Evaluating the capacity building needs of Hamilton/Halton area nonprofits

Abstract

The United Way of Halton & Hamilton (UWHH)’s ConnectEd program helps to build the capacity of local nonprofits to help them achieve their mission. However, since the pandemic, UWHH has received less feedback from organizations in their network about what their capacity building the needs are, driving them to reach out to the McMaster Research Shop for help conducting a needs assessment. The McMaster Research Shop partnered with UWHH to help assess the post-pandemic needs of local nonprofits, including their organizational priorities, capacity building topics that would help them with their priorities, and the formats capacity building initiatives should take.
