Supervisor Gonzales helps nonprofits with funding sources
San Bernardino County's Fifth District Supervisor Josie Gonzales will host a forum from 7:45 a.m. to 3 p.m. Feb. 13 at the Behavioral Health Resource Center in Rialto to help local nonprofit organizations secure funding from major foundations.
The "Meet the Funders" forum will feature representatives from the Archstone Foundation, California Wellness Foundation, Kaiser Permanente Community Benefit Programs, Union Pacific Foundation and the Weingart Foundation.
Daniel Foster, president and CEO of The Community Foundation serving San Bernardino and Riverside counties, will moderate a panel discussion to educate local organizations on how to effectively approach these foundations for grants focused in the areas of human services, education, community and civic engagement, youth and the arts.
"San Bernardino County nonprofits need to het their fair share of the financial pie," Gonzales said in a prepared statement.
The forum will also include two training sessions covering salient board development issues, and effective research data techniques to support grant proposals.
The Behavioral Health Resource Center is located at 850 E. Foothill Blvd. in Rialto.
