Paulina Goldman, course designer, and capacity expert are always on the lookout for best practices that can elevate leaders into a greater understanding of the ever-changing funding streams and governance that sets successful non-profits apart from those who are struggling. This course is worth your investment of time and resources. It will set you apart and get you noticed in the noise of your field.”
“Paulina is an amazing trainer, facilitator, researcher, and consultant. She has spent years evaluating the effectiveness of governments and nonprofits in both the US and South America. Paulina dives deep into the ethical aspects of governance. Her course is guaranteed to enhance the skills of any public official or administrator. Paulina's training is impactful and insightful. She makes the session fun and interactive.”
“When I first met Paulina, I felt like a wounded soldier in battle. I had founded an organization where there were no funding streams, a lot of need, and an enormous amount of leg work that still had to be done. She was like a fairy Godmother who took her magic wand of words and waived it over my business plan transforming it into a concise and understandable work of art!”
“In 2021 our organization Passport For Change, Inc. hired Paulina from Capacity Experts to facilitate the process and write our strategic plan. We were a newly formed nonprofit and enlisting the services of Paulina was the best investment we've ever made. She guided us through a rigorous but enjoyable process that helped us clear a path for internal development and clarify our mission, goals, and values. We are extremely grateful for her guidance and expertise!”

Burning Questions that You May Have Before Enrolling
I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed by all the things I’m going to need to learn and execute inside this program. Are you sure I can do this?
I have never heard of the ETHOS framework. This new approach to nonprofit work doesn’t seem to be available anywhere else.
There are a lot of other nonprofit academies and training centers out there. How is this course different from other programs, some of which are free?
Do I need to purchase a lot of fancy technology, tools, and software to make this work?
Do I need experience in the nonprofit field to enroll in this course?
I am a seasoned nonprofit executive. I could probably teach many classes on my experiences. Is there anything else left for me to learn?
I am just starting off in the nonprofit field, how do I know that this is the right course for me?
How much time and effort goes into restructuring an organization to ensure that it is operating ethically? What’s a rough idea of the time and schedule commitment needed to do it successfully?
Do I get the full course at once?
I am not sure if I should sign up because I don’t know if it will be relevant to me.
I am interested, but I don’t know if I can afford it.
Working in the nonprofit sector is challenging…
But here’s a little insider’s scoop…
Friend, according to the Johns Hopkins Center for Civil Society, America’s third largest workforce is employed by nonprofits and 7.4% of the worldwide workforce is made up of nonprofit workers.
This means that it is a really good idea - right now - to reframe how you think about nonprofit work and how you align your values with your practices.
The landscape for nonprofits is changing and the mission you care about can only be sustainable by running an impactful and ethical organization that aligns its values and practices.
There is a better way to build a culture of collaboration, clear communications, inclusion, and transparency.
Nonprofit employees view ethics differently than in other industries. Creating caring climates that are mission-driven is part of the ETHOS framework. There has never been a better time to recalibrate how you are showing up to represent your values. Social entrepreneurs need appropriate systems to support them with clarity, mission focus, fair accountability systems, respect for employees, and healthy organizational cultures.
You are needed at the table to represent a new approach to carrying out nonprofit work. The ETHOS framework provides a better way to run your organization with ethical systems.
I can’t wait to meet you, share our research with you, and cheer you on inside Ethical Capacity Building: Aligning Values, Fundraising, and Strategic Planning™.
All my best,
Paulina
