Gather at the Stakeholder Forum: Empowering Our Rural Nonprofits

Rural Nonprofit Networking Group to host stakeholder forum


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.

Building a Vibrant Community: The Role of the Fayette Community Foundation

The Fayette Community Foundation serves as an essential bridge in this initiative, connecting caring philanthropists to organizations that are making a tangible difference in the local community. Their commitment to building stronger, safer communities aligns closely with the heart of the event. By participating in the forum, local nonprofits can align their visions and share their story, fostering a sense of unity and purpose across the region.

Tips for Nonprofit Leaders Attending the Forum

As you prepare for this important gathering, consider a few key strategies:

  • Update Your Mission Statement: Ensure clarity and succinctness in your organization’s mission for sharing. A well-articulated mission statement can inspire partnership and support.

  • Bring Your Ideas: Come prepared with ideas on how your nonprofit can contribute to collaborative efforts and address local issues.

  • Engage in Conversations: Make an effort to connect with fellow attendees — everyone brings unique insights and experiences that can enhance your work.

Join the Movement!

The Rural Nonprofit Networking Group encourages all interested organizations to attend this gathering and make their voices heard. It’s an opportunity to grow, to learn, and to connect with others who are passionate about making a difference.
