Collaborative Program

The Collaborative Program was developed to provide individualized opportunities to Tier II grantees to strengthen organizational capacity through curated networking, workshops, trainings, and mentoring.

Small cohorts are formed by grouping organizations with similar characteristics—such as budget size, discipline, staffing, or organizational priorities. Participants are selected based on their Interest Form, their most recent ZAP Tier II application, and with consideration for representing a range of disciplines and districts throughout Salt Lake County.

Cohorts will meet for a series of two-hour sessions held over several weeks or months. Each session focuses on a single area of nonprofit organizational development, offering an in-depth look at practical skills and strategies.

Learn more about each session topic, eligibility requirements, and review process by downloading the Collaborative Program Guidelines. Interested organizations may apply to participate in the program by filling out the Interest Form.
