The complexity associated with the creation of a nonprofit corporation has often served as a deterrent for the citizens of disenfranchised communities to create organizations to meet their needs. Resources for Human Development (RHD), a nonprofit corporation, employs over 2,800 persons in seven states, and operates with a FY 1999-2000 budget of $70.5 million, and includes in its mission a commitment to local community groups. To accomplish this objective, its New Beginnings programs stimulate local community to articulate their needs and interests and RHD provides technical assistance to these groups. Over the past 28 years, RHD, via New Beginnings, has organized over 120 groups: many have spun off to become completely autonomous while others have continued under the corporate administrative umbrella. RHD is a unique, innovative organization which has been a risk-taker in creating effective services in collaboration with concerned community groups. This paper describes the philosophy of RHD and the approach its New Beginnings program has used with aspiring groups. It seeks to serve as a stimulus to nonprofits in search of new approaches to community empowerment and community development. |
