This is a special first-time event where the Community Foundation is hosting a roundtable discussion for non-profits in the area, to help them discuss and potentially find solutions for the various challenges that only non-profits face.

This is an invitation-only event. If you run a non-profit and would like to attend, please email Sandy Kraft (sandy@sancarloscf.org).

Lunch will be included, so please RSVP by Tuesday, 6/18.

Speaker

Michelle Fries, the Director of Community Action for the Silicon Valley Community Foundation will speak for about 20 minutes about the SVCF, grantmaking, and their support of nonprofits.  She leads the grantmaking strategy for their foundation to support the sustainability of organizations in San Mateo and Santa Clara County.  Maybe you can get some insights to help inform your future grant applications.

Roundtable

Most of the time will be devoted to helping the nonprofit EDs get to know the other local EDs and to an open discussion of topics of interest to them.  Our hope is that this may become a regular event.
