Session Topics
This in-person information session will break down our 2024 competitive grantmaking offerings which are:
- Cobb Holiday Giveathon: During this two-week fundraising period, we will shine a spotlight on 25 local nonprofits. These organizations will be featured in our Cobb Thrives Gift Guide, showcased on our Donor Portal, and promoted across social media platforms to maximize their visibility and encourage contributions.
- Certified Nonprofit Practitioner (CNP) & Incentive Grant: This nationally recognized, unique credential will be offered to a cohort of nonprofit leaders through a custom program administered through Kennesaw State University.
Both opportunities will be fully introduced and explained at the Grant Seeker Session. CCF Staff will review the actual applications, share useful tips, and answer any questions. This learning opportunity is another way we help nonprofits to ACTIVATE GOOD.
