Enterprising NONPROFITS
Building a Strong Community of Nonprofits, Businesses, & Volunteers
W
e at First Business work
with a growing number
of nonprofit organizations
throughout the region. One of the
things we noticed coming out of
the recession was that although the
nonprofit community did an amazing
job of responding to the challenging
economic conditions, there seemed to be the need for a
consistent forum for nonprofits to connect, collaborate
and communicate with other nonprofit partners across
the region. I called my friends at the Volunteer Center to
see if they too saw this issue, and asked if they'd help
build an initiative to fix the gap. As a result, Enterprising
NONPROFITS was launched. Our first event is
designed to:
• Share best practices
• Provide economical and valuable board training
• Create a forum enabling corporate community
specialists to excel in their efforts
• Allow executive directors and development directors
to learn best practices with peers
• Provide opportunities for potential board volunteers
to connect with executive directors looking for
board talent
As a result, it is our hope that the local nonprofit
scene will strengthen their business and operational
practices, working strategically to accomplish their
goals – thus, fundraising will come easier and the
community will receive greater support. We believe a
strong nonprofit community in Northeast Wisconsin
contributes to a strong economy.
