 OCB – Executive Transition

Rolling deadline
Organizational Capacity Building
pmiller@hcf-hawaii.org

This may be an opportunity to revisit the mission in order to be clear about what an organization needs in a new ED. It may also be an opportunity to revisit the ED’s job description and be sure that the board has realistic expectations of a new ED. These grants will not pay for an interim ED, or the costs of recruiting and hiring a new ED.

OCB – Strategic Restructuring/Partnership

Rolling deadline
Organizational Capacity Building
pmiller@hcf-hawaii.org
