Resilia Platform Improves Nonprofits’ Capacity for Fundraising, Direct Services, Operations and More
In the first year of the partnership, participating nonprofits were gifted a full year of access to the Resilia platform. To date, 351 resources were accessed by participating organizations; 41 courses were completed; and 99 courses are currently in progress. According to the platform, the most commonly utilized courses were fundraising, marketing and communications, board development, and grants.
“Resilia has been a great tool for our nonprofit to easily break down and track objectives and goals,” said Veleke Brown of the E-RoadMap Corporation, a nonprofit partner participating in the program. “The system allows you to input data and see your progress as you are working, and it helps us gauge whether or not we are on target or in need of adjustments. When presenting at our board meeting, the data from Resilia translates so well that our board and stakeholders can easily see the value and impact our work has on the community we serve.”
The initial cohort currently working within the Resilia platform are: Tykes & Teens, The LupieGirl, Inc., Education Foundation of Martin County, Friends of Foster Children, NAMI Palm Beach County (AE), WiseTribe, Victory Nursing Inc., The Pink Queen Foundation, Scholar Career Coaching, Academic Restoration Plan, Gold Coast Down Syndrome Organization, Youth Empowered to Prosper In, Love, Hope & Healing Inc., Dreyfoos School of the Arts Foundation (AE), E-RoadMap Corporation, Muck City United Inc., Connections Education Center of the Palm Beaches (AE), Faith Hope Love Charity, Inc., Second Chance Initiative, Roots & Wings Inc., Cancer Alliance, Integrated HealthCare Systems, Inc., Sunflower Creative Arts, Boldin Community Impact, Inc., Rise and Shine Christian Academy Inc.
“The Community Foundation’s strategic plan includes a clear objective to build capacity for nonprofit organizations so that they can learn how to prepare their own presentations and curriculum encompassing fundraising, direct services, marketing and other key operations,” said Danita R. DeHaney, President & CEO of the Community Foundation for Palm Beach and Martin Counties. “With access to the Resilia platform, we can increase our organization’s capacity to support local nonprofits that are on the frontlines, serving Palm Beach and Martin Counties. We can’t thank the DeLuca Foundation enough for their support in helping our nonprofits access the tools to sustain and grow their capacity to help our neighbors in need.”

Types of courses available within the platform include board development, grants, fundraising, compliance, marketing and communications, storytelling, and program and volunteer management.
Nonprofit partners choose what support they need, how and when, depending on their organizational needs, and preferred mode of support. Among the many benefits of Resilia membership are one-on-one coaching for entire nonprofit staff and board members as well as virtual nonprofit orientations. Resilia also serves as a learning platform that provides templates, articles, and videos on topics nonprofits need to know and a forum for communication and networking.
