A Program in Argenta represents an ongoing organizational service, initiative, or activity that your nonprofit delivers to achieve its mission.

Key Characteristics of Programs

• Ongoing Activities: Unlike one-time events, programs represent sustained efforts over time
• Participant-Focused: Programs typically serve constituents who participate in or benefit from your services
• Trackable Outcomes: Programs allow you to measure impact, track expenses, and report on results
• Connected to Resources: Programs can be linked to grants, funds, campaigns, volunteers, and staff

Examples of Programs

• Youth mentoring initiatives
• Food assistance programs
• Educational workshops and training series
• Support groups and counseling services
• Community outreach initiatives
• Healthcare or wellness programs
• Employment assistance programs
• Housing support services

Programs vs Events

While Events are typically one-time or occasional gatherings, Programs represent your core service delivery. An event might support a program (like a fundraiser for your food pantry), but the program itself is the ongoing work.
