Grant Opportunities
Through its discretionary funds, Spur grants annually to dozens of organizations that serve Blaine County. We think strategically about how and where philanthropic investments can do the most good and believe effective nonprofit organizations are essential to a thriving community.
Advisory Services
Most of Spur’s advising services are provided cost-free to nonprofits. We consider it essential to our mission of promoting excellence, efficacy, and efficiency in the sector. Examples of past consulting services include: business plan and strategic plan development, board development, best practice benchmarking, fundraising guidance, and meeting facilitation.
Professional Development
We understand that continuous growth and learning are essential for organizations to navigate the ever-evolving landscape of the nonprofit sector. That's why we offer a number of professional development programs for nonprofit leaders. We are committed to investing in your professional growth to empower your organization and amplify your impact.
Capacity Building Tools
As part of our advisory services, Spur offers a Best Practices Questionnaire and Organizational Capacity Review, through which nonprofits receive feedback and tailored recommendations. More than 40 local nonprofits participated in our previous organizational assessment process, and we've reimagined that experience to make it more collaborative, practical, and responsive to the needs of today's nonprofit leaders.
