Community foundations are some of the most impactful philanthropic structures in the U.S. Yet, their scope of work could be clearer for many.
Join us for this engaging session and explore:
-
- How community foundations operate within the philanthropic ecosystem.
- The dynamics of different community foundation funds, including unrestricted, donor-advised, field of interest, and designated funds.
- Ways community foundations can become invaluable nonprofit allies by offering resources, expertise, and support.
You will leave this session with a better understanding of navigating community foundation relationships to benefit your nonprofit’s mission.
