Unrestricted Asset Building

Responding to the COVID-19 crisis has taught us all the importance of having flexible funds available to quickly and effectively meet community needs. We can’t predict what needs your Community Foundation or United Way will be asked to meet in the future, but we do know that growing your community grant funds today will help prepare you for the work to come!

Philanthropy WV is pleased to be hosting a special learning series that gives you tools, strategies, a plan of action, and confidence to do this work within your organization, community, and across nonprofit partners.   Plus, you’ll be able to build strong partnerships among your peers to attract more giving to grow the financial resources in your community and our state.  
This multi-session coaching series is led by Ralph Serpe and Bryan Tate of Building Unrestricted. LLC starting in late February.
