Resource Mobilization: Assisting grassroots organizations in identifying and accessing funding opportunities, providing guidance on developing grant proposals, and building relationships with donors.
Organizational Development: Supporting grassroots organizations in strengthening their internal structures and processes, such as governance, human resources management, and volunteer engagement.
Advocacy and Policy Engagement: Helping grassroots organizations build their capacity to engage in advocacy efforts and influence policy decisions that affect their communities.
