Flintridge’s Community Services program provides a broad range of capacity building services to help strengthen the vital work of nonprofit organizations serving children, youth and families in Northwest Pasadena and Altadena. Quality learning opportunities are offered for nonprofit staff, volunteers and leaders at all levels of experience—whether an individual is new to the nonprofit sector or a seasoned professional who seeks to enhance skills or stay informed about new ideas, technologies and practices.

The following core programs are offered on a regular basis:

• Grantseeking Basics
• Grantseeking Technology
• Conversation with the Funder

To complement these offerings, Flintridge presents a full schedule of educational workshops and trainings that cover all aspects of nonprofit management and respond to the professional development needs identified by constituents.

In addition, one-on-one consultations may be scheduled with a diverse pool of nonprofit professionals for customized support on specific issues.

Capacity building scholarships are available for organizations serving Northwest Pasadena/Altadena. These small grants (under $500) may be used to enhance knowledge and skills or to increase public awareness of the organization.

Flintridge’s services include a Philanthropy Resource Library and a state-of-the-art Retreat Center.

The Library contains extensive references on nonprofit topics and four computer workstations with access to leading funding research databases. Staff assistance is always available. Search the online library catalog to see the titles in the collection.

The Retreat Center can be booked for meetings and trainings, seven days a week and weekday evenings. The facilities are offered free of charge to community groups and local nonprofits with budgets of less than $1 million.
