Explanation
This ordinance authorizes the City Clerk to enter into a grant agreement with the Human Service Chamber Foundation (HSCF), a non-profit entity, in support of their capacity building for non-profit organizations.
The HSCF, a nonprofit organization, currently provides support services to nonprofits in central Ohio with the mission: “to unleash the power of human potential through every act of human service.” Non-profit organizations will have the opportunity to apply to be part of an intensive cohort, emphasizing their capacity.
Non-profits will take part in workshops where they will learn nonprofit management skills like, creating compelling mission and vision statements, board management, financial management, systems and processes, operational efficiency, marketing and communications.

Non-profit organizations will also receive 1-on-1 coaching for individualized support, with a defined number where they will be walked through a full grant process, from research to application and setting up for capturing data and reporting.
