September 14, 2020 | TS Community Foundation
September 14, 2020, Council Bluffs, IA - The TS Community Foundation, an affiliate of Pottawattamie County Community Foundation, is excited to host its fourth annual educational workshop for nonprofits on Tuesday, Oct. 6.
This year’s workshop will be virtual and geared toward maximizing resources, collaborating, and igniting fundraising efforts, now and post-pandemic. The event begins at 9:00 a.m. and will have two panel sessions with breakout room networking opportunities.
The annual workshop hosted by TS Community Foundation launched in 2017 to help build upon the educational resources for local nonprofits and engage the surrounding communities.
“Community impact is at the core of every nonprofit, and it is our joy to help others be a catalyst for change, “TS Community Foundation President Mick Guttau said. “We are excited to provide this learning opportunity geared at helping our area nonprofits learn from local experts on how to leverage best practices and outside-of-the-box strategies in this new environment.”
The cost to attend is $10 per person and the money will be donated to the Southwest Iowa Impact Fund for a collective donation to help continue community revitalization, economic development and assisting youth and families in need. Last year’s annual workshop held at The Palace Event Center raised a collective $1,470 for the Southwest Iowa Mental Health & Substance Abuse Fund.
“Our area nonprofit partners are the cornerstone of our community, helping to create lasting change and positive results for families and individuals in the areas they serve. That is the reason supporting the work of our non-profit partners is of great importance to both the Pottawattamie County Community Foundation and the TS Community Foundation,” Pottawattamie County Community Foundation President Donna Dostal said.
