Funders are savvy, which means youth-serving organizations need to take a more strategic approach to securing money for their missions.
To help nonprofits find more funding, the Indiana Youth Institute (IYI) is hosting a forum that will explore how to create a better approach to fundraising.
The forum will feature Falicia Brewer, president of Brewer & Associates, a professional management service for nonprofits. Brewer has procured more than $20 million during the past two decades for her clients. She will discuss the tips, tools and resources on strategies funders want to see from nonprofits.
The forum will run from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. CDT on Tuesday, Sept. 17, at Healthy East Chicago, 100 W. Chicago Ave., East Chicago, 46312. There is plenty of free parking at the site.
As part of IYI’s Youth Worker Café program, the forum is free and lunch will be served, but reservations are required by Monday, Sept. 16. To make a reservation, call Cynthia Rivas of Healthy East Chicago at (219) 397-6863 or email her at crivas@healthyec.org. Reservations may also be made by contacting IYI Northwest Indiana Field Representative Stephan Gill via text at (219) 314-9516 or via email at changin2b@yahoo.com. Gill also may be contacted for more information on the café.
Youth Worker Cafés are designed to bring together local youth workers to build relationships and inspire collaborations that will benefit children. This Youth Worker Café is made possible by the collaborative efforts of the Healthy East Chicago and IYI.
