OPERATING AS MAGIC CABINET, THE FOUNDATION DISTRIBUTES ENGAGEMENT GRANTS TO NONPROFITS WHO COMPLETE THE FOUNDATION'S ENGAGEMENT PROCESS. THE ENGAGEMENT PROCESS IS DESIGNED FOR BOTH THE NONPROFIT AND THE FOUNDATION TO DISCOVER OPERATIONAL STRENGTHS AND PINPOINT AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT. FOR MAGIC CABINET, UNCOVERING AN AREA OF IMPROVEMENT IS NOT A NEGATIVE, BUT AN OPPORTUNITY TO BUILD A STRONGER NONPROFIT - AND A POTENTIAL CAPACITY-BUILDING GRANT. THE ENGAGEMENT PROCESS INCLUDES: MAGIC CABINET MEETS WITH NONPROFITS SELECTED IN A TARGETED NEIGHBORHOOD/CITY; NONPROFITS TAKE THE ICAT - A THIRD-PARTY CAPACITY ASSESSMENT SURVEY; AN INDEPENDENT ICAT FACILITATOR LEADS A DISCUSSION ABOUT THE ICAT RESULTS WITH THE NONPROFIT'S LEADERSHIP; MAGIC CABINET HOSTS THE NONPROFITS AT A CELEBRATORY EVENT IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD; MAGIC CABINET'S STAFF DISCUSSES ICAT RESULTS, AGENCY TAKEAWAYS, AND SHARED VALUES WITH EACH NONPROFIT IN THE ICAT FOLLOW UP; NONPROFITS ARE AWARDED AN UNRESTRICTED $1,000 ENGAGEMENT GRANT; NONPROFITS ARE ELIGIBLE FOR COHORT PLACEMENT.THE NONPROFITS WHO COMPLETE THE PROCESS WILL RECEIVE: A $1,000 ENGAGEMENT GRANT; THE RESULTS OF THEIR ICAT ASSESSMENT - A THIRD PARTY SURVEY WITH SUGGESTIONS FOR HOW THEY COULD BUILD A STRONGER ORGANIZATION; AND BECOME ELIGIBLE FOR POSSIBLE PLACEMENT IN A FUTURE NONPROFIT COHORT. |
