Workshop Overview: 

During this interactive, hands-on workshop, organizational teams of 3 to 5 will learn about the seven Nonprofit Lifecycle Stages that include: Idea, Start-up, Growth, Maturity, Decline, Turnaround, and Terminal. Then they will apply these stages to a real-life nonprofit case study. Following a discussion about the case, teams will work together in collaboration with Nonprofit Lifecycle consultants to determine what stage their organization is currently in.  

This training will help nonprofits assess capacity imbalances throughout their organization and will help them then determine what areas they should be focusing on for growth. 

This workshop is based on the award-winning book, Nonprofit Lifecycles: Stage-based Wisdom for Nonprofit Capacity. 

Who Should Take This Course:  

This program is ideal for executives, board members and staff of nonprofits small and large, seasoned or just starting out.

Organizational registrations are available for teams of CEOs/EDs, Board Chairs and incoming Board Chairs, and other key staff team members. 

  • The CEO/ED must attend (If no FTE staff then the Board Chair must attend). 
  • At least 3 people, no more than 5, from an organization must attend (strictly enforced because this is a "working" workshop; If you have questions about this, please contact us at events@azimpactforgood.org) 
    • It is ideal, but not required, if the Board Chair or one Board Member can be present (Board Chair is required if no FTE staff). 


Complimentary Benefits of Completing This Program: Available to Arizona Nonprofits Only 

Within 1-2 weeks after the workshop, the attending nonprofit organization will be responsible for sending in their current Lifecycle Self-Assessment and Capacity Improvement Plan although the majority of this information will be completed during the training. 

Participants who complete the follow-up Self-Assessment and Capacity Improvement Plan, will be eligible for a minimum of 4 hours (up to 6 hours) of consultation* (a $600+ value) from a trained and experienced Nonprofit Lifecycle Consultant with the purpose of clarifying and providing direction on Capacity Improvement goals. 

This consultation will need to be completed within 2-3 months after attending this workshop. 

*Dependent upon number of registered organizations therefore consultation could include more hours.
