This Leadership newsletter continues a conversation on capacity building that has broken through to the public discourse in the nonprofit sector. Our first article talks back to a previous piece on cancelling the current practice of capacity building. Working backwards on recent key NPQ articles in this conversation, our second piece revisits the article that ignited it.

Finally, we reexamine an article that outlines what capacity building can be when it is approached as capital building.
