Community Foundation for a greater Richmond site visit Leanne Petroziello Program Officer - Educational Success August 31, 2023
Nonprofit organizations play an important role in maintaining the health and vibrancy of our region. We believe in their work and we are committed to helping them be successful. In fact, our own success to create positive change depends on it.
The Community Foundation maintains a solid commitment to build a strong and sustainable network of local nonprofits. Community organizations are important partners in understanding the needs of our community and where our collective resources can be useful. We not only provide funding opportunities, but also facilitate collaborations, connections and leadership programs that help nonprofits achieve greater efficiency and effectiveness.
