Capacity Building

Matching experienced professionals with social impact organizations to boost capacity and strengthen teams

Spotlight on Poverty and Opportunity provides leading insights on solutions to the economic hardship confronting millions of Americans  

Strengthening mission-driven organizations from within while expanding impact nationwide 

Encore Fellowships aligns with the mission of the Community Impact Policy Institute by strengthening the organizations that drive community change. While CIPI produces research and policy insights that remove barriers and expand opportunity, Encore Fellowships helps put this work into practice. The program places seasoned professionals in nonprofits that need added capacity, builds leadership strength, and accelerates measurable impact in communities that have been historically underserved. 

Mission
