South Central Texas Rural Philanthropy Day speakers announced
South Central Texas Rural Philanthropy is back and on November 3rd 2023, in La Grange Texas with featured speakers from all over Texas. This event will be hosted by the Fayette Community Foundation (FCF), a professional development conference which is designed to alleviate the strain on our local nonprofits. They plan to do so by building their organizational capacity and strengthening their relationships with variety of funders. The goal is that no longer will rural nonprofits have to spend hundreds of dollars to attend professional development conferences miles out of town, because many nonprofit organizations can’t afford the expenses to go. Also joining FCF is Title Sponsor, and the Stanzel Family Foundation in hopes to bring that education local while ensuring it stays affordable for rural nonprofits so they can attend.
