Non-profit Training
Several years ago, our
Community Foundation launched its NSTAR program (Nonprofit Support,
Training and Resources). The program provides free monthly brown bag
seminars on topics of nonprofit management and governance. It also
provides half and full-day workshops. The office maintains a lending
library of materials on topics of interest. And staff are available to
meet with a board member or executive director regarding a special need a
nonprofit organization might have such as starting a new 501c3
corporation, a funding crisis, leadership transition, or complex
collaboration. |
This
initiative is generously supported by a gift from the
Bacon Family Foundation. |
