Nonprofit Party Applauds Nonprofit Professionals
|
As a thank you to the many dedicated nonprofit professionals in our community, the Community Foundation hosted its first annual
Nonprofit Party at the Museum
on November 7. The new event welcomed over 160 local nonprofit staff and supporters to the Cedar Rapids Museum of Art. At the Party, two outstanding nonprofit professionals were recognized for their contributions to the field. David Janssen (to left, top photo), Executive Director at Brucemore, received the
Nonprofit Leadership Excellence Award
. Tim Feldmann (to right, top photo), Workforce Specialist at Tanager Place, received the
Minnie Rubek Staff Excellence Award
. In addition to the award, each recipient's organization received a $1,000 grant designated for staff development. Read more about them

Thank you to everyone who attended the party!
Stay connected,
