Connecting Nonprofits to Foster Community Growth
In the heart of La Grange, a beacon of hope and collaboration is set to rise as the Rural Nonprofit Networking Group (RNNG) hosts a pivotal stakeholder forum for local nonprofits. Scheduled for February 14 at 10 a.m. at the Fayette Community Foundation’s office, this gathering aims to unite nonprofit staff and volunteers, providing them with the opportunity to exchange ideas and support one another in their missions.
Why Attend the Rural Nonprofit Networking Group Forum?
As nonprofit organizations bear the weight of increasing community needs and challenges, the importance of collaboration cannot be overstated. The RNNG creates pathways for organizations to not only share their core missions but also identify partnership opportunities that can enhance their impact within Fayette, Lavaca, and surrounding counties. Participants will leave with actionable insights, thanks to expert facilitation from Susannah Mikulin, CEO, and Ashleigh Parks, Community Impact Program Director, who aim to harvest critical feedback on unique local nonprofit needs.
The Power of Local Nonprofit Collaboration
The strength of a community often lies in the collaboration between its local organizations. By gathering for this forum, nonprofits can create a robust web of support and shared resources, enhancing their ability to fulfill their missions and help those in need. Furthermore, these meetings encourage professional development and connection, as RNNG continues to offer tools and guidance that allow practitioners to thrive.
