Hartford Foundation’s Nonprofit Support Program Launches New Website

New site developed based on needs and feedback of Greater Hartford's nonprofit community

 

The Hartford Foundation's Nonprofit Support Program (NSP) is dedicated to supporting Greater Hartford's nonprofit community. NSP's relationships with Greater Hartford's nonprofits yield a unique understanding of trends within the sector, allowing staff to respond to their ever-changing needs. When it was time to update and redesign its website, NSP reached out to local nonprofits to get their suggestions on everything from the design to the content of the site. This new site responded to these recommendations.

"The Nonprofit Support Program exists to support and strengthen the capacity of Greater Hartford's nonprofits," said NSP Associate Director Meher Shulman. "This site was designed to respond to the changing needs and interests of nonprofits and to provide timely information and resources to make their jobs easier. Our staff strives to do all we can to support local nonprofits and leaders and this site is intended to allow us to serve the sector even more effectively."

NSP's new site at hfpg.org/nsp serves as a more efficient and user-friendly starting point for nonprofits large and small, well established or just starting out and everything in between. Among the sites' key features are:

  • Modern, easy-to-navigate layout
  • Updated information
  • Improved navigation and user experience
  • Mobile - friendly design

All of the content is based on feedback from nonprofits and focuses on issues most important to the building the capacity of the sector. The site includes information related to:

  • Planning
  • Boards
  • CEO Transition
  • Technology
  • Fundraising & Marketing
  • Managing Finances
  • Evaluation
  • Leadership Development
  • Collaboration & Merger
  • Legal Issues
  • Human Resources
  • Grants
  • New/Start-Up Nonprofits

In addition, the site includes a full listing of the workshops and other services that NSP offers as well as links to broad range of outside resources.

 

 

Established in the late 1980s, NSP is key to the Foundation's capacity building efforts, annually serving over 200 nonprofits and giving $2 million in grants. NSP's close contact with Greater Hartford's nonprofits provides it with a unique understanding of the trends within the sector.
