Training for Your Nonprofit

Akron Community Foundation’s relationship with your organization does not begin or end with a grant decision. We are committed to helping you accomplish your mission in Summit County with training and education opportunities, including the following:

Development training

Akron Community Foundation is working with local partners to bring you relevant workshops and seminars that will help you take your nonprofit fundraising to the next level. The topics will include: how to create a development plan; working with staff and board members to raise resources; moving prospective donors from cultivation to solicitation; and others that are germane to our nonprofit community.

Many of the training opportunities will provide continuing education credit. Stay tuned for more information about upcoming workshops and seminars.

Endowment-building assistance

As an endowment fundholder at Akron Community Foundation, agencies like yours have full access to our donor services staff. These professionals can help you plan creative ways of growing your endowment fund, as well as integrate endowment building into your existing development plan.
