Our last in person GPP meeting in January 2020 looked at “payday lending” in South Carolina and early plans to put an end to predatory interest rates. Please join us for an update on the tremendous progress that a new coalition has made since that time and what’s next in terms of policy change.
2020 required boards to pivot to online meetings, strained participation with members’ own busy schedules, and the enormous challenges that nonprofits were facing. What lessons and adjustments can we take into the coming years? And what best practices can take boards from good to great?
Join us for a meeting with board and staff leaders to maximize board performance to meet each board’s mission.
NOTE – location change due to weather! Since 2018, Greenville Partnership for Philanthropy and NonProfit Alliance have joined to celebrate summer solstice in recognition of blogger Vu Le’s suggestions that nonprofits and funders get together to socialize and break down barriers. Of course, we took off 2020, but we’ll resume the tradition with a very casual drop in!
COVID has created chaos for many non-profit organizations. This session presents a framework for sustainable post-COVID operations that will shift your organization from the chaos of COVID into a manageable new norm.
2020 challenged employers in so many ways, from workplace location and safety to federal programs to fund payroll to managing the ways a heated political environment spilled into employees’ work lives.
And the challenges continue in 2021 – what about the hybrid workplace model stays and what goes, how to handle vaccinations at work, and what new federal programs exist to support your workers.
Lee Yarborough, President at Propel HR, joins us to cover these topics and what they mean for your organization. She’ll then answer your questions about HR. Don’t miss this interactive and practical session for funders and nonprofits in Greenville County!
Building opportunities for ALL Greenville County residents also means making sure every voice can be heard. Many community organizations are actively seeking to create equitable spaces to better serve our community members. This action must include creating space for those that are not predominantly English speaking.
Creating multi-lingual spaces where everyone can communicate, understand, and be understood in the language in which they prefer is part of language justice. Language justice is a key component to building inclusive, equitable and sustainable communities. As the world continues to evolve, today’s non-profit and philanthropic organizations have tools at their disposal to implement strategies and practices that promote language equity. This session will include practical tips on doing your work with language justice in mind.
By special request from our members, we’ve asked James Campbell with the Well-Being Partnership to join us for an overview of mental and behavioral health, including:
• Identifying a person in need of services
• How to approach the topic
• When and how to refer
• Community Resources
• Challenges in Resource Availability
• Intersectionality
• Self-care
Many communities of faith in Greenville County give time and money to support local nonprofit organizations.
The members of Greenville Partnership for Philanthropy – foundations, corporate sponsorship programs, and other charitable giving entities – have learned a great deal about effective giving by connecting with each other.
This gathering brings together faith leaders interested in local mission work and local giving to share best practices, ask questions of their peers, and learn more about work in the community around housing, poverty, education, and other issues of interest to congregations in Greenville County.
We welcome any faith community leaders who are interested in strengthening their local impact to join us for an engaging conversation.
Since 2018, Greenville Partnership for Philanthropy and NonProfit Alliance have joined to celebrate summer solstice in recognition of blogger Vu Le’s suggestions that nonprofits and funders get together to socialize and break down barriers. We are excited to host this year’s event at Feed and Seed’s new space! Drop in between 4:30 and 6:30 for fellowship and to learn about new partnerships between GPP and NPA.
