A Guide to Building Sustainable Organizations From the Inside Out This workbook is based on the work of SHOW-21, a project introduced by the Chicago Foundation for Women. SHOW-21 (Sustainability of Health Organizations for Women into the 21st Century) is an innovative example of how successful capacity building can be undertaken among nonprofit organizations. SHOW-21 is based on the assumption that sustainability can be achieved when organizations recognize and understand the full measure of their assets and capacities and then build upon them. The workbook illustrates the SHOW-21 model for increasing organizational sustainability, and offers a series of activities and tools to other groups interested in this effective approach. It is presented by the Chicago Foundation for Women in collaboration with the Asset-Based Community Development Institute, the members of the SHOW-21 working group, the author, and the funders of SHOW-21. The Chicago Foundation for Women believes that through sharing the SHOW-21 process and lessons learned, it can have a transforming impact on how nonprofits think about their own sustainability and future organizational development. Although this workbook comes out of the wisdom of women's organizations, this process can be applied to any organization. All proceeds from workbook purchases will be used by the Chicago Foundation for Women to create a fund that will support their work on building sustainable organizations for women and girls.
