This year’s grant awards demonstrate the foundation’s ongoing investment in local nonprofit organizations.

The latest episode of The Good Works Podcast has dropped! In this episode, Randi goes solo to talk about the differences between 501c3, 501c4, and PAC organizations - and how or whether they are allowed to publicly discuss politics. In today's climate, there are very important distinctions to understand. And what can we all look forward to in the coming months? https://lnkd.in/gdwpQ3tv

We still have a couple of spots left for the upcoming Women Leaders Launchpad. Applications are due August 1. The Community Foundation will also provide scholarships for those organizations needing a little extra help paying the fee. Don't let tuition be a barrier to your participation! Workshops begin the week of September 30. Learn more and apply here https://lnkd.in/dHrcw3-u

We are recruiting for community grant reviewers for the 2024 Community Grant Program! Reviewers represent a diverse mix of community volunteers who read, review, and evaluate grant applications from local nonprofits. The Community Grant Program grant cycle begins in June and ends mid-August. Reviewer work typically begins mid-July. There are two phases to the review: 1. independently read and review applications at home and 2. attend 1 in-person grant panel meeting. If this sounds like a fit, please apply to become a reviewer by following this link https://shorturl.at/etu09 For more information about the reviewer position and the Community Foundation, visit us here https://lnkd.in/gXp6RkwE
