Coaching can be a powerful tool in the development of nonprofit leadership.
Wanting to identify when and how coaching works best, the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, David and Lucile Packard Foundation, James Irvine Foundation, Evelyn and Walter Haas, Jr. Fund and Harnisch Family Foundation launched a project to examine coaching in the nonprofit and philanthropic sectors.
The resultant Coaching and Philanthropy Project produced a new body of literature and tools to fortify this emerging practice among nonprofits. Funders and nonprofit leaders now use these resources to assess when and how to use coaching to strengthen leadership within the sector.
