The Chaffee County Community Foundation (CCCF) announced today its 2023 Community Summit, offering Chaffee County nonprofits training in skills building, professional development, leadership growth, and collaboration opportunities through the day-long program.
The CCCF Community Summit is set for 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 19 at the Chaffee County Fairgrounds
The agenda includes two keynote speakers and workshops in grant writing, nonprofit management, workplace culture, donor pipelines, internships and providing benefits on a budget. The event will include a nonprofit resource fair hosted by regional businesses and organizations that support nonprofit development.
“At the Chaffee County Community Foundation, we create opportunities for nonprofits to learn and grow, strengthening our nonprofit ecosystem by providing tools, knowledge, and support that lifts up organizations across Chaffee County,” said CCCF Executive Director Betsy Dittenber. “The Community Summit is focused on helping nonprofits identify opportunities, gaps and realize efficiencies that help deliver on their mission, thereby enhancing the nonprofit’s ability to have a positive impact on lives and communities.”
