“The world we are living in today is inextricably interconnected – it is impossible to go back to the past.

我们今天居住的世界盘根错节的连接着, 不可能回到过去.

Furthermore, issues such as climate change, energy shortages and the aging society that people face today are increasingly complex and political positions demand new approaches to problem solving.”

更甚, 例如人们今天面临的气候变化, 能源短缺与老龄化社会等

问题愈来愈复杂, 政治取向决定了必须用新的方法来解决问题.

INTEGRATING CAPACITY AND STRATEGY

Whether you are a grantmaking professional, a private philanthropist, or a grant seeker who works at a nonprofit organization, the goal of this handbook is to help you think about organizational capacity (OC) in a new and helpful way: as part of organizational (and grantmaking) strategy, not as an afterthought that somehow happens, more often than not, haphazardly. In addition to laying out a new way of conceptualizing OC, this book includes a set of simple, practical tools and reference materials to apply the idea of “strategic organizational capacity” to your own work assessing, investing in, and strengthening nonprofit capacity to make a positive difference in the world.
