    Wendy S

    Agrarian Trust - Funder Program, Grantee Partner

  • “Resilia has allowed us to meet a long-time goal of serving our grantee partners beyond the grant by offering skillful and accessible support with capacity building. When our grantees tell us they’re stuck on an organizational challenge, it feels good to connect them to Resilia’s team who can follow up with resources, problem-solving strategies, or simply an experienced coach to talk things through.”

    Kalliopeia Foundation - Funder Program

  • "The Community Foundation for Greater New Haven and the Valley Community Foundation are grateful for the partnership with Resilia. It enables us to provide a rich array of capacity-building resources to a group of grassroots organizations who would otherwise not have the same kind of access to the tools that can help them strengthen and grow. The ongoing support offered to the organizations, and the communication between the Resilia team and our foundations have created outstanding relationships"
