About Us

Nonprofit Impact Alliance

The Nonprofit Impact Alliance, or N.I.A., is a capacity building cohort designed and administered by The Master Resource.

The Alliance is named after the fifth principle of Kwanzaa and means "purpose" in Swahili. This principle is "committed to making our collective vocation the building and developing of our community in order to restore our people to their traditional greatness." The name is fitting, as this Alliance focuses on Black-founded and Black-led nonprofits that are working to ensure their communities are cared for, supported, and sustainable.

The Master Resource

The Master Resource is a writing, research, development, and strategy firm providing comprehensive services to nonprofits and small businesses.

The Cohort

This exclusive eight-week Cohort is designed to support Black nonprofit leaders whose grassroots organizations have been actively serving their communities but have yet to exceed an operating budget of $250,000. To help you develop and scale, we are dedicated to equipping you with the skills, knowledge, and network to lead your organization to new heights.

As a participant, you’ll join a select group of visionary Black leaders committed to creating meaningful change around South Florida. Through weekly hands-on curriculum sessions and workshop-style office hours, you’ll deepen your understanding of essential nonprofit leadership topics, like strategic planning, financial management, legal considerations, program development, community engagement, and fundraising.

This Cohort is more than just a learning experience. It’s a collaborative, transformative journey where you’ll develop actionable growth strategies and build a strong support network of like-minded leaders. We’re seeking passionate, purpose-driven individuals ready to take their organizations to the next level and make a lasting impact on their communities.

Hear From Our Graduates ...

"I gained a wealth of knowledge about how to grow my organizations capacity, build impactful programs and services, grow community partnerships, write grants, develop budgets and fundraise, among many other vital tools and resources.
