Issue 7, 1/8/13
Making Rural Connections
As Impact Grantmaking continues to grow, I'm looking forward to reaching out to all regions in Oregon so that you can target your giving into areas which may have greater need, including our rural communities. In this issue, our first organization that provides services in Linn and Benton Counties has posted two proposals!
If you are aware of a nonprofit organization that could benefit from the visibility Impact Grantmaking provides, please share the newsletter with the executive director. And, if you would like to sponsor an organization and support
the posting of their proposal, please
email me and I will assist the organization in putting something together for the next issue.
Helping rural nonprofits increase statewide awareness of the services they provide, will greatly improve their potential to receive funding.
Reaching out to people close and far throughout Oregon will lead to the best possible outcomes imaginable!
Best wishes,
Jennifer
