Webinar: Cultivating Stronger Communities Through Leadership – The Impact of NTL

Program Overview

Learn how The Gifford Foundation’s Nourishing Tomorrow’s Leaders (NTL) program is strengthening community boards and empowering new generations of nonprofit leaders. The program will explore how its flagship initiative has helped build stronger, more resilient organizations—and how you can bring its proven approach to your own community.

Hear directly from Sheena Solomon, Executive Director of the Gifford Foundation, alongside the Director of the Nonprofit Lifecycles Institute and an experienced NTL program consultant, as they share firsthand insights into what makes the program so effective.

During this session, you will:

  • Learn the core principles and strategies behind the NTL program, how it was conceived, the topics it covers, and the importance of good partnerships to run it successfully.
  • Conduct a brief readiness check. Do you have the infrastructure and relationships in place to implement the program? If not, you will learn what needs to be put in place before you do.
  • Explore how you could adapt and apply the NTL model to meet your community’s unique needs.
  • How to get started with the NTL Toolkit. 

Whether you’re a funder, nonprofit professional, community advocate, or leadership coach, this webinar will equip you with fresh ideas and a replicable model to ignite positive change.

Don’t miss this opportunity to be part of a growing movement to nourish dynamic community leaders!
