Town Hall: Meet the Funders

Event Description:

As nonprofits grapple with the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, many funders are stepping up to provide additional support through microgrants, hardship relief, and loan programs. Join us for a virtual Town Hall panel discussion where nonprofit organizations will have an opportunity to meet some of the most philanthropic funders in the area to learn about grant opportunities and the best ways to apply for them.

This fall session will bring together diverse voices to discuss the current state of fundraising and development, including pivots and strategies for future planning in 2022. CNM will kick off the panel by asking a set of questions, and then we will open up the floor to our attendees. Don't miss this robust conversation about strategies to sustain your organization and demystify the funder perspective as we emerge from a post-pandemic world.

Staff, volunteers, and board members of community nonprofits, local governments, and other community organizations large and small are invited to register for this 90-minute session.
