You just received a gift from a long-term donor. Oh no! They
have a donor advised fund at the community foundation! What does this mean? How
do you respond?
You are getting to know someone whose values you believe
align with your organization’s mission. You learn they have a fund at the
community foundation. What do you do?
Your organization is developing a new program or has the
potential to expand its services but needs some initial funding. What about the
community foundation?
When it comes to nonprofits and community foundations, it is
an easy leap to think they are competing for charitable dollars. This shouldn’t
be the case. How do you build a better relationship with your community
foundation that helps you unlock the charitable dollars that are already given
and just waiting to make an impact in your community? This session will provide
guidance and a conversation on how nonprofits and community foundations can
work together to strengthen a community and encourage philanthropy in all its
forms.
