The series is designed to afford representatives of nonprofit organizations an opportunity to go beyond the printed guidelines provided by private sector funders to build a greater understanding of the funding process.
Most programs feature representatives from several grantmaking organizations.
During each program these representatives address how and why funding priorities were established, how funding decisions are made, and the process of applying for charitable support. No acknowledgment will be mailed. Registration closes one week prior to program date. If your organization is working to address sprawl and ensure smarter growth and community preservation through approaches as varied as land use policy, land protection, affordable housing, job creation and healthy communities organizing, come and hear from this dynamic and diverse panel of area donors with a particular interest in these very issues. Panelists represent funders who are supporting organizations and communities working to improve quality of life and preserve community character, historic resources and environmental quality in the Commonwealth.
