The Non-profit Advisors Program, offered through Columbia Basin Trust, provides organizational development and capacity-building support at no cost to local non-profits. Non-profits are at the heart of healthy, resilient communities, and in the Columbia Basin, they now have access to a unique resource to help them thrive.

Whether you’re new to the program or have previously received support, the team of advisors is ready to help organizations strengthen their operations and prepare for long-term success. Services range from organizational assessments and practical recommendations to skill-building workshops, webinars, and access to a comprehensive online reference library.

If specialized expertise is needed, the program can also subsidize consulting support—ensuring non-profits get tailored guidance in areas that matter most. Advisors are available to provide insight and advice in critical aspects of operations, including:

• Planning and direction

• Human resources

• Financial management

• Risk management and recovery planning

• Administration and management

• Board governance

• Community relationships

While the program does not provide grants, core funding, or direct support for projects or professional development, its focus on organizational strength helps non-profits become more effective, sustainable, and better equipped to deliver on their missions.

In a time when local organizations face growing demands and complex challenges, the Non-profit Advisors Program is a timely and practical way to build capacity and ensure long-term impact.
