Training Round-Up

One of the roles a community foundation plays is to serve as a resource to nonprofits. Here at the Foundation we are pleased to support MetroWest nonprofits by providing complimentary opportunities for both board and staff training, and Board Chair learning and networking. We are able to offer these events thanks to a generous grant from the Middlesex Savings Charitable Foundation.

• Effective Marketing Communications on a Shoestring
• Keeping it Local: The Importance of Hyper-Local Strategies in Getting the Word Out
• The IRS 990
• Best Practices for Success and Writing Effective Grant Proposals
• Planning for Long Term Stability: Building an Endowment

We will continue to offer training opportunities during 2012. Watch for our announcements in the months to come.
