Empowering Third-Sector Organizations: Guidance, Training, and Mentoring
In the realm of civil society, third-sector organizations play a vital role in promoting social and civic goals. These organizations, including non-profit entities, volunteers, entrepreneurs, and philanthropic foundations, contribute to a vibrant civil society. The country has approximately 50,000 registered associations and public benefit companies, facilitating a diverse range of social activities and extensive engagement across various sectors.
However, these organizations face numerous challenges due to their large numbers, limited resources, and insufficient specialization and organizational development. Bureaucratic and managerial obstacles further hinder the progress of new organizations. In response to these challenges, Foundation Maddad is committed to empowering third-sector organizations, enabling their growth, and fostering meaningful social engagement.
Maddad's Mentoring Team comprises seasoned professionals with extensive expertise in the civil sphere, including management and entrepreneurship. They play a pivotal role in providing valuable guidance to these organizations.
Maddad's mentoring content covers a wide array of topics. In the general subjects, it includes familiarization with the social landscape, understanding operational mechanisms, grasping fundamental concepts in the social field, exploring interfaces among management roles, comprehending organizational structure, addressing position-specific issues, and obtaining necessary approvals. The mentoring also encompasses specific areas such as financial management and planning, government relations, philanthropic resource mobilization, marketing and public relations, social entrepreneurship in an organizational setting, and volunteerism.
By focusing on these areas, Maddad aims to enhance the capabilities of third-sector organizations, equipping them with the necessary knowledge and skills to navigate the complex social landscape effectively. This support enables these organizations to develop robust visions, set clear goals, execute work plans, establish effective partnerships, and create sustainable programs that impact society.
