It's More Than a Treasure Hunt! Learn How to Partner With Grantmakers

The Tri-Valley Nonprofit Alliance is pleased to present “It’s More Than a Treasure Hunt: Learning How to Partner with Grantmakers,” an in-depth panel discussion featuring local corporate and foundation representatives who will provide nonprofit organizations with information on the essential aspects of forming partnerships with grantmakers and applying for grants.

Held at Livermore’s Bankhead Theater, on Thursday, May 14, 2015, from 9:30 to noon, this month’s TVNPA meeting is not to be missed by staff members, board directors and volunteers of nonprofit organizations in the region. Members of the community at large are also encouraged to attend.

Registration is open at www.tvnpa.org; there is no cost to attend. Panelists will shine a light on giving criteria and grantmaker expectations, including information about organizations’ eligibility and how to submit grant proposals. Featuring two separate panel discussions, TVNPA will host representatives from: AT&T; Clorox Foundation; East Bay Community Foundation; Fremont Bank; Hacienda Helping Hands; Kaiser Permanente Foundation; Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory HOME Campaign; and Pleasanton North Rotary. Attendees will also have an opportunity to ask specific questions and participate in the discussion.

The Tri-Valley Nonprofit Alliance provides nonprofit organizations with opportunities to meet, collaborate and share resources, thereby strengthening each other as they work to achieve their missions. The
organization’s philosophy is simply put: together, we’re better. When local nonprofits succeed and thrive, the entire community is strengthened. The Tri-Valley Nonprofit Alliance supports nonprofit organizations located within the Tri-Valley and throughout the San Francisco Bay Area.

Since 2014, TVNPA has served more than 120 nonprofit organizations at its monthly meetings. The organization provides education and resources to staff members and volunteers covering a wide range of best practices for nonprofits. Meeting topics have included information on a broad spectrum of topics: from board development, planned giving and annual campaigns, to social media for nonprofits, organization branding, elevator speeches, and more.
