JPS Nonprofit Strategies’ Post

Thank you, Philanthropy Colorado, for highlighting our work and the impact of Adelante! As Hispanic Heritage Month concludes, sustained investments in Colorado’s Latino communities and Latino-led nonprofits remain essential to building a more equitable future for our state. Adelante Colorado is a testament to what intentional investments can achieve. With the support of The Colorado Health Foundation, this pilot program nurtures the growth of Latino leaders and nonprofit organizations through grants, leadership development, and community engagement opportunities. The latest Adelante Colorado Evaluation Report highlights the program's success: 100% of participants reported growth in leadership, organizational capacity, and community collaboration. 82% increased their budgets and fundraising efforts. 67% grew their staffing and deepened their advocacy and strategic planning efforts. Adelante is about more than metrics—it's about building personal power and fostering trusted relationships that elevate the value of our leaders and communities. With one-third of Colorado’s residents projected to be Latino in the next 20-25 years, the well-being of these communities is inseparable from the well-being of our state.

Ever wonder about the best approach to decision making? As a leader within the nonprofit sector, it is crucial to understand when to take charge and when to seek input; when to guide and when to listen. There exist three distinct styles of decision-making: authoritarian, collaborative and democratic. Each approach has its own advantages and disadvantages and over time, nonprofit leaders are likely to utilize all three methods. Regardless of the decision-making style chosen, it is essential to provide thorough explanations for all significant decisions. A deeper exploration of each approach will be conducted next week.

When clergy apply for roles in the nonprofit sector, they bring not only their deep commitment to mission-driven work but also a wealth of administrative experience that often goes unrecognized.

How can a non profit industry support marginalized communities? To better support marginalized communities, a non-profit organization should prioritize understanding the specific needs and challenges of these communities through active engagement and consistent communication. Building trust through transparency and involving community members in decision-making processes is crucial. The organization should focus on empowerment by providing education, training, and leadership development, while also fostering partnerships with local organizations, government agencies, and businesses. Culturally sensitive approaches and advocacy for policy changes are essential for addressing systemic issues. Implementing sustainable, long-term solutions and regularly evaluating program impacts, incorporating community feedback, will ensure the support provided is effective and meaningful.
