Hey Missoula,

I'm exploring the possibility of renting a shared office space between a
few local like-minded non-profits.  There's a building near downtown with
three floors - each could be occupied by a different organization (or
shared by a couple if only one or two staff).  We'd want to get a few
groups together, consider a rent offer and rental arrangement before
committing.  If your group may be interested, please let me know!  Our org
is Sierra Club, at least the Montana Chapter and possibly a national staff
would join us.

Let me know off list if you are interested in discussing.  Best email for
that discussion is summer.nelson at sierraclub.org

Thanks,
Summer

*ORGANIZATIONAL ASSESSMENT CONSULTANTS REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS *

*INTRODUCTION*

During 2019, the *Missoula Project for Nonprofit Excellence* (MPNE) will
conduct its sixth round of capacity building grant awards, with the
expectation that three Missoula area nonprofits will be funded.  If you
enjoy working side by side with nonprofit boards and staff working towards
strengthening impactful mission-based organizations, then you will enjoy
being involved in the MPNE program. You will be a part of a team of
nonprofit consultants, that perform organizational assessments designed to
enhance the 7 pillars of organizational capacity building:

?      Vision and Planning

?      Program Delivery and Impact

?      Fund Development

?      Financial Management: Budgeting, Accounting and Reporting

?      Human Resources: Staff & Volunteers

?      Governance and Leadership

?      Communication



Through the process you will identify strengths, areas in need of
improvement, and organizational gaps that nonprofits can begin to develop
launching them in a forward moving trajectory.  Organizations that have
participated in the past include The Roxy Theater, Home ReSource, and
EmpowerMT.

The MPNE core funders will award up to three nonprofits a capacity building
grant in 2019.  Consultants will be assigned a fitting nonprofit based on
their familiarity and experience and begin working with them the week of
January 28th, 2019 with the final report due to the Grant Coordinator and
grantee by June 28th, 2019.

In light of these time frames, interested parties should submit their
Letter of Interest and requested attachments by *no later than midnight on
