We had such a great morning with our Carter County nonprofit community!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Nonprofit Success Workshop. It was wonderful to have a room full of people who care deeply about our community coming together to learn, ask questions, and share ideas.

We’re especially grateful to Commercial Bank of Grayson for welcoming us and giving us a place to gather, to the Pallottine Foundation of Huntington for joining the conversation and sharing their perspective as a fellow funder serving Carter County, and to Jonathan Lett for sharing his time and financial expertise with the group.

Most of all, thank you to every nonprofit that joined us! Supporting our nonprofits is about more than grantmaking. It’s also about creating opportunities to learn, connect, and grow.

And speaking of opportunities, the Carter County Community Fund grant cycle is now open! Learn more at https://tristatefoundation.org/carter-county-community-fund/.

Calling all Carter County nonprofits!

Join the Foundation for a FREE Nonprofit Success Workshop where you will gain practical tools you can put to work immediately, from nonprofit finance and budgeting to grant readiness and what makes a strong grant application.

What if your organization's next breakthrough starts with simply thinking differently?

Every nonprofit faces challenges. Whether it's finding new ways to serve your community, overcoming limited resources, engaging supporters, or tackling a problem that feels impossible, innovation doesn't start with having all the answers. It starts with falling in love with the problem.

That's exactly what the Foundation for the Tri-State's Innovation Fellowship (IF) is designed to do.

If you're an executive director, nonprofit staff member in a leadership role, or nonprofit board member, you don't need to have the next big idea before you apply. You simply need a desire to grow, learn, and discover new ways to create greater impact.

Join us for our FREE virtual Information Session on August 4 at 9:00 a.m. to learn more about the Fellowship and decide if it's right for you.
