Good morning!

This Week’s Workshop

Rethinking Nonprofit Efficiency with Dr. Jessica Berrett.

Dr. Berrett of UCCS walks us through a decade of research on nonprofit efficiency, including how it should actually be measured and how donor perceptions shape organizational behavior. She is a fabulous presenter, and we are grateful to have local researchers and experts willing to share their findings to help local nonprofits thrive.

Thursday at 11:30 AM at the Penrose House Conference Center, near the Broadmoor.

Tax credit workshop materials are posted

The recording and the handout packet from last week’s tax credit session are uploaded into the Nonprofit Google Drive. The packet covers the Enterprise Zone, Child Care Contribution, and Homeless Contribution credits.

If you have questions about any of these programs, the contact information for the county and state offices is in the handout packet. Those offices administer the credits directly and are the right place to start.
