How do we grow with fresh eyes and an old soul?

In recent years, nonprofits across the sector have experienced unprecedented and, in many cases, unexpected growth.

In collaboration with the Ford Foundation’s BUILD initiative, La Piana developed an evidence-based intervention for 30+ social justice organizations in order to tackle these challenges. BUILDing for Growth is a customized, capacity-building program that helps select Ford grantees navigate substantial, rapid, and unplanned growth, all while developing the organizational infrastructure needed to drive sustainable impact.
