Learning Together

Nearly 50 of you joined us for the presentation on funds at the Community Foundation. We heard from several attendees that they understand Donor Advised and other CFMC funds so much better as a result! We compiled the Q&A from the session and we're sharing the information below. If you haven't already, I encourage you to read about updates to Community Foundation grantmaking (below) with a chance to provide online feedback as well.

Together!
