There are several new benefits this year including the Board Academy training and the Nonprofit Council, a collaboration with the Greater Gainesville Chamber and the local United Way. You will also notice that our most valued and popular benefits have remained the same, while the membership rate decreased. We will still be offering our monthly trainings and quarterly nonprofit socials.

education resources connection
“As a small nonprofit organization based in a rural
Member Spotlight: community, there are limited resources to increase
Unity Family the capacity of the organization. To increase our
capacity to sustain our programs, UFCC became a
member of the Center for Nonprofit Excellence.
Since our membership with the foundation, our
capacity has increased tremendously from the
various trainings and one-on-one technical
assistance. UFCC has enhanced its skills and
knowledge in fundraising efforts, board director’s
roles and responsibilities, professional development
and social media. The value of learning how to
properly network to strengthened volunteers and
partnerships with other organizations has been
extremely important to the growth of our
organization.”
