Connecting Resources: How to Organize a Funder Briefing!
Wednesday, March 13, 1:00 PMโ2:30 PM CST (2PM EST, 11AM PST)
Many smaller, BIPOC-led nonprofits are often excluded from accessing funding simply because they do not have the in-house capacity to coordinate meetings with funders. In truth, many funders want to mobilize resources. What if there was an effective and low-cost way of creating those connections? Laura Hennighausen, Director Of Strategic Philanthropy at Purpose Possible and Community Centric Fundraiser will show us how!
CCF Principles in this workshop:
#2. Individual organizational missions are not as important as the collective community.
#3. Nonprofits are generous with and mutually supportive of one another.
#7. We foster a sense of belonging, not othering.
