'Meet the Funders' day planned Oct. 18

October 15, 2007

The biggest foundations in the state are coming to Hood River again for the third annual “Meet the Funders Day.” Now is your chance to talk with program officers from the Ford Family Foundation, Oregon Community Foundation, Murdock Charitable Trust and the Jeld-Wen Foundation, as well as local funders.

This full-day session has four basic components:

• Researching local and state foundations;

• Panel discussion with local funders;

• Panel discussion with state funders;

• The opportunity to sit with state foundation representatives to get feedback on a specific proposal or idea.

Bring a two-page sample proposal for your idea. Whether you are a grant writer, executive director or staff person, this is a great opportunity for anyone who needs funding for a project. It is also an excellent opportunity to introduce yourself and your organization to the state’s biggest funders. The workshop is Thursday, Oct. 18, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and costs $75 per person. It will be held at the Hood River County Administration Building library, 601 State St. in Hood River.

For more information contact Paul Lindberg at (490) 2340 or plindberg@gorge.net. This workshop is presented by Hat Creek Consulting and the Hood River County Commission on Children and Families, and all proceeds go to the Gorge Community Foundation.
