Hear what your colleagues are saying….
“One of the workshops I attended was on Land Banks, and we took a tour of several projects. This is a tool I was unfamiliar with, and I was interested in learning about it as Oswego County was in the process of establishing a Land Bank. The tour provided a great deal of information and did an excellent job of demonstrating many different ways Land Banks can serve a community.”

“As an attorney working with tax exempt organizations, and as a board member of many not for profit organizations I found the conference opportunities extremely valuable. There were great opportunities to connect with foundation leaders in their field, and fantastic learning about cutting edge grantmaking ideas and innovative programs in an ever changing society.”
