Resilience Partners NFP
Resilience Partners is known for our hard work and dedication in the non-profit field because we strive for greatness. We help individuals and organizations develop their technology, fiduciary responsibilities and business practices. Our primary focus is community-based grass root organization and social enterprises serving underserved and marginalized communities. For the last few years we have served as fiscal sponsors for over 25(+) Safe and Peaceful grant recipients a year. We would love the opportunity to support Safe and Peaceful Applicants who did not receive the grant by providing group workshops and one-to-one counseling to help them prepare to reapply in the upcoming grant cycle. These workshops would be made available city wide and be open to anyone who has an interest in the grant or want to know how a grant application process would work. Through the years we have met many individuals/organizations across Chicago who are passionate about their communities and the work they do to serve those around them. We know firsthand how intimidating the application process can be. But, even more how challenging understanding program development and putting their ideas and dreams on paper. We will partner with individuals who want to make a difference but don’t necessarily have the skills to develop their programs. Our main goal is to help individuals understand the grant application process. By, empowering them with the tools needed to better develop and execute their programs. Most importantly to build their capacity for community continuity, leadership and sustainability. We will partner with the 20 to 30 individuals/organizations, to host 6 sessions to help them better understand programing, the importance of building partnerships, funding, and the grant application process to strengthen the impact of their efforts and more.
