SE is a national change management approach to increase nonprofit resources and sustainability through workforce transformation.
A Service Enterprise is an organization that strategically leverages volunteers to achieve operational efficiency and greater social impact. Service Enterprises are among the top 11 percent of nonprofits in the country in volunteer management and organizational performance.
Research conducted by TCC Group and Deloitte shows that nonprofits operating as a Service Enterprise are as effective as peers but at almost half the median budget, and they are significantly more adaptable, sustainable and scalable. Become a leader in capacity building and engagement by becoming a certified Service Enterprise.
–Service Enterprise
Your organization will take Service Enterprise Diagnostic, a comprehensive analysis tool developed by Points of Light. The results are reviewed with you by experienced coaches from The Triangle Nonprofit & Volunteer Leadership Center (TNVLC).
Up to 4 members of your organization attend in-depth, interactive training developed by Points of Light (12 total hours) delivered by experienced instructors from TNVLC. Your team participates with several other local nonprofits (a cohort). During training, your team will develop a detailed Action Plan to become a “Service Enterprise.”
TNVLC coaches review your Action Plan and during the first year, your agency can receive up to 10 hours of coaching and/or training as well as helping you achieve SE Certification. They will do a Certification Review and submit your application for national SE Certification!
TNVLC was awarded an SE Training grant from Governor Cooper’s office to provide financial assistance to area nonprofits.
This program is valued at between $5K-$10K.
Over 95% of the training costs have been covered by a Governor’s office grant and ARPA/City of Durham.
The registration fee is $150 per nonprofit which also allows up to four participants for the 8 week program.
