The Nonprofits Integrating
Community Engagement (NICE) Guide offers information, tools, case studies and
other resources to help nonprofit groups develop core competencies on
constituent and community engagement. The NICE Guide is designed for
organizational development experts, management support organizations, and
internal and external consultants to facilitate efforts to integrate the voice
of community members and constituents into the daily practice of nonprofit
organizations.
NICE is a joint project of the
Alliance for Nonprofit Management (The Alliance) and the Building Movement
Project (BMP). The Alliance is a membership organization that seeks to improve
the effectiveness of those in the social sector and to help nonprofits and
communities achieve positive social change. The Building Movement Project has
published a library of materials to guide organizations to integrate social
service and social change. Key among BMP’s resources is Social Service to
Social Change: A Process Guide, a foundational document that can inform
consultant learning and contribute tools and resources when working with
organizations
