Announcing the new home for Mission Capital

Mission Capital Finds New Home at the Central Texas Community Foundation (CTXCF) within the newly established Center for Nonprofit Success 

Central Texas - After 25 years of serving and strengthening nonprofits, Mission Capital announces that its programs and services will join the Center for Nonprofit Success, a newly formed joint initiative of the Central Texas Community Foundation and the Georgetown Health Foundation. The move will offer area nonprofits expanded access to capacity-building tools, resources, and training, in person and online. 

"This is truly the next evolution of Mission Capital's mission," said Mission Capital board chair, Aaron DeLaO. "Twenty-five years ago, our organization was created to strengthen the skills and systems of nonprofits and help them deliver more effective and efficient impact to the community. We're excited to see The Center for Nonprofit Success build upon that mission, and more."

Launched in June, The Center for Nonprofit Success or The Center offers curated and accredited training, tools, and resources as well as an AI platform that helps nonprofits source vetted information and resources.  One of the primary sources of these vetted materials is The Standards for Excellence Institute, a national initiative to assemble the highest standards and best practices in nonprofit operations. 

With the addition of Mission Capital programming and expertise, The Center will add trusted, in-person training and consulting, offering Central Texas nonprofits additional support that is customized to their needs. 

"Mission Capital's reputation and impact on the nonprofit sector over the last 25 years can't be overstated," said Amy Merida, executive Director of Central Texas Community Foundation. "Twenty years ago when I was much younger in my career, this organization was pivotal to my learning, and it resourced my growth and expertise in ways few others have.  To be trusted to steward this legacy into the future is the highest honor.”  

An Alignment of Evolving Missions

The Central Texas Community Foundation (CTXCF) was founded in 2004 to nurture and inspire philanthropy. CTXCF currently serves a 30-county area and has distributed over $42 million in grants to area nonprofits and has $38 million in assets under management.  The Center for Nonprofit Success launched as a joint venture between CTXCF and the Georgetown Health Foundation (GHF), which saw the needs of the growing nonprofit.  

"At Georgetown Health Foundation, we see The Center for Nonprofit Success as a way to strengthen the people who strengthen our community.  When those who serve others are equipped to lead with confidence and clarity, the ripple effects reach every corner of people’s lives. Foundations have the privilege to help accelerate that progress by investing in The Center and the future it represents," said Scott Alarcon, CEO of GHF.

Well regarded as the nonprofit organizations' source for employee and board training as well as its roster of expert consultants that support strategic planning, succession planning, and more, Mission Capital has been transitioning its programs to new homes this year to meet the demands of a nonprofit sector that is also evolving. Its signature We Thrive program, which provides support for nonprofit executives from under-represented communities, was transitioned to the nonprofit Measure, which helped create the program. And its stewardship of Good Measure, a program that helped nonprofits and funders apply data to improve services, will transition to Insights4Equity, an organization that supports nonprofit growth. 

The Mission Capital Jobs Board will continue to serve as a vital resource for the nonprofit community and remains active and free to use on MissionCapital.org until further notice. 

"Thanks to our donors, funders, and clients, Mission Capital will shepherd these vital programs to colleagues we trust to grow these services," said DeLaO. "Throughout the dissolution process, the vision of a healthier nonprofit sector across the region has been our north star." 

"Our vision was to remove the barriers for nonprofits - whether they're start-ups or long-established - to resources that meet them where they are, when and how they need them," said Merida. "We all stand on the shoulders of Mission Capital's leadership and are honored to take that vision into the future."
