About Us
Nevada County Funders Network
Nevada County Funders Network exists to provide a regular opportunity for representatives of Nevada County funders to meet to:
- Share information about current funding priorities, guidelines and decisions which support programs, services, and voluntary or non-profit organizations in Nevada County;
- Share information and learn about current trends and practices in grantmaking and issues affecting the voluntary sector in Nevada County;
- And jointly plan and organize initiatives that contribute to strengthening the capacity of voluntary sector organizations in Nevada County.
The group meets quarterly and offes a variety of workshops and resources on proposal writing, marketing, board governance, and other relevant networking events. This year, the NCFN is pleased to launch the official Nevada County Funders Network Website, which will assist the voluntary sectors and non-profit organizations in resourcing funding opportunities and streamlining the grants and application processes.
How the Site Works
The site consists of a database of NCFN member organizations that provide resources and funding in various sectors. The sectors include: Education, Health, Community, and Social Services.
Once an organization is chosen, the user will see a link to the organization’s website for more in-depth service information.
The "Resources and Workshops" page consists of helpful information with respect to the applications process surrounding grants and funding opportunities.
