NonProfit Leadership Series

The Nonprofit Leadership Series provides free professional development opportunities to area nonprofit leaders. Designed to provide educational outreach, the program offers a variety of sessions throughout the year on topics like marketing, fundraising, grant writing, leadership, and stress management.

The Nonprofit Leadership Series planning committee is excited to announce regionalization of this program to benefit nonprofit organizations in all 5 1/2 counties of the Foundation's service area.

"I am so thankful for these sessions through the Nonprofit Leadership Series. I love that they are free--that means a lot in the nonprofit world! All of the sessions I've attended have helped me learn new strategies to keep me on top of my game, and everyone who has presented on the topics are always friendly and helpful."

(Samantha Scoblink, Beyond Violence, Inc. Marketing Development Coordinator)
