Partner Sustainability and Growth

There’s a reason why “partners” is in our name. Partners fuel our work and make our mission achievable. In collaboration with thousands of community development organizations, public agencies, nonprofits, and for-profit groups, we work in 700+ communities and on a national scale.

We offer grants, trainings, and advisory services that improve operations and expand the capacity of our local partners — all so they can sustain and grow their impact in service of people and communities.

Here’s how we do it.

Building the Capacity of Our Partners

For years, the Cherry Hill Development Corporation (CHDC) operated as an organization made up entirely of volunteers and a part-time consultant. Thanks to a $100,000 grant and support from Enterprise, CDHC was able to expand their capacity with alignment under a new strategic plan, a fully engaged board of directors, paid staff, and first organizational fundraiser.

"Enterprise has been able to assist Cherry Hill Development Corporation by looking at our strengths and weaknesses and helping us make decisions about what we should focus on. With that and some specific grants, we’ve seen our capacity as an organization increase."
