Capacity Building Networks

Networks of organizations build capacity together through the Capacity Building Fund. TSNE’s Capacity Building Fund (CBF) was established to help non-profit organizations in Massachusetts and Rhode Island create and nurture space for collective learning.

The learning not only bolsters the capacity of nonprofits to do what they do better, but it also advances knowledge in their fields, as learning partners experiment with new and improved ways of delivering and integrating programs and services.

Lessons from CBF

Since 2004, CBF has funded 25 learning networks. Learn more about these projects and the lessons shared.

Meet Meg Kerr, who has brought together several organizations to learn collaboratively. This new case study examines the role of a weaver in creating results on community issues.

Continued Learning Grantees Announced

These 12- to 18-month grants support co-learning projects designed to increase organizational capacity and progress towards shared learning goals. The ultimate outcome of this work is to help the groups more profoundly impact their respective communities.

CBF Philosophy

The overall goal of the CBF is to strengthen a network of community-based, social change oriented nonprofits.

We seek applications from groups that want to learn how to work together to achieve community impact beyond what one organization can achieve alone.
