Nonprofit Network Celebrates Tenth Anniversary in October

The Nonprofit Network celebrates the 10th anniversary of providing support to nonprofits in late October. In an effort to incorporate a new model of nonprofit capacity building, Community Foundation and Advisory Council leaders began the Nonprofit Network with an open house on October 26, 2012. The Nonprofit Network focuses on peer connection, information sharing, and learning opportunities. Prior to the Nonprofit Network model, the Community Foundation supported the Linn County Nonprofit Resource Center from 2006 to 2012.

To celebrate this anniversary, the Nonprofit Network will host a special peer group lunch on Friday, October 28, at 12 p.m. Attendees are invited to enjoy a taco buffet lunch and the lunch will feature ideas about connection from energy builder Brooke Fitzgerald of The Restoration Project. Space is limited for this special event! Register here.

Stay connected,

News for Nonprofits

Update to Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program

The Larned A. Waterman Iowa Nonprofit Resource Center recently released an informative piece about changes in the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) Program. In October 2021, the Department of Education announced temporary updates to the PSLF Program that qualified millions of additional public service workers for loan forgiveness. Until October 31, 2022, past payments and loan types that were previously ineligible for forgiveness may become eligible if the borrower completes the steps necessary to make their loans qualify. Act fast as the process can take time and click here for all the information.
