Thank you for taking part in our first Quarterly Member Update Call!
In this call, we illustrated some of the important ways that the Council is demonstrating our value to the field and to your work. We hope that you gained some new resources to do your work more effectively and a clearer understanding of some of the major efforts underway.
Here are some links to some of the important programs mentioned.
- Speak Out in September – A part of our ongoing and active initiative to help you engage with lawmakers in support of the America Gives More Act.
- The National Standards for Community Foundations™ – A peer driven, voluntary, self-regulatory accreditation program that ensures operational effectiveness to foster excellence in community philanthropy.
- The Fall 2014 Conference for Community Foundations – Our upcoming conference on the past, present, and future of community philanthropy.
- The Philanthropy Exchange – A high tech platform for helping you connect with other foundation leaders.
We thank Leslie Dunford and the team at the Cleveland Foundation for the terrific work they have done to make the Fall Conference for Community Foundations a big success for everyone in community philanthropy.
