Capacity building

Collaborative Change Initiative Capacity Building

The cross-sector collaborations supported by the Collaborative Change Initiative are striving to solve some of the Bay Area’s most complex issues. It’s difficult work that often becomes even more complex due to internal dynamics, external influences, and competing priorities.
 
 
To address these challenges, the Hellman Foundation has developed a capacity building approach to support our grantee partners. Anchored in the principles of Facilitative Leadership for Social Change, the approach includes a simple and clear process for grantee partners to access capacity building resources to increase their effectiveness, drive results, and achieve bold goals. 

Each grantee partner from the Collaborative Change Initiative works with Foundation staff to engage in the Hellman Capacity Building Approach which includes the following 4 steps: ​​

​WHAT WE’VE LEARNED ABOUT CAPACITY BUILDING FOR COLLABORATIONS  

Successful cross-sector collaborations have: 
  • Highly engaged members representing key institutions and sectors 
  • A shared vision and strategy based in data 
  • Effective leadership and facilitation 
  • Clear structures, roles and processes 
  • Full participation by and engagement with community members 
  • Consistent internal and external communication 
  • Key data that informs their collective work  

So that they can: 
  • Implement and scale solutions across diverse communities  
  • Adapt to unforeseen changes
  • Reach and serve their communities 
  • Change systems  
  • Generate financial and political support to reach ambitious goals
