Take Board Service Seriously
As a new member of the Rockland Community Foundation 's Board, I'd like to share that the National Council of Nonprofits is an excellent resource for information and tools for Board Development.

Unsolicited Proposals Not Accepted?
It happens to me all the time- I find a foundation that looks like an excellent fit for a client, and then as I scroll through the description I see the feared words: โ€œ unsolicited proposals not accepted โ€ or โ€œcontributes to pre-selected charitie sโ€ only. First instinct may be to move on in your research to the next foundation, but Marie C. Palacios and Mandy Pearce of Funding For Good, Inc. say, not so fast! Click the bar to the right to read their full article on why you may want to reconsider!
Free Exhibiting Opportunity
Square & Compass Events invites non-profit organizations and charitable groups to exhibit and promote your organization at the Zebrini Family Circus event to be held June 14th and June 15th at the German Masonic Park in Tappan, NY
Birthdays are the perfect opportunity to make a donation in someone's honor. Since mine is this month, I'll be suggesting to my family members to consider donating to one of their favorite charitable organizations in lieu of a gift!
