LANO and a consortium of Baton Rouge area funding agencies will host an exclusive one-day seminar on ways to encourage greater collaboration among nonprofit charities and other non-governmental organizations.
The conference, titled “The Collaborative Spirit: Making the Most of Working Together,” will be held Monday, August 24, 2009, from 8:00 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. at the Lyceum Dean Ballroom, 124 Third Street, Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
Sandy Jacobson of the Fieldstone Alliance, a nationally recognized nonprofit support agency based in Minnesota, will facilitate the discussion among Louisiana nonprofit executive directors, board members and funding community representatives with a focus on proven collaborative strategies. The Alliance program includes training, research and demonstration projects developed over 26 years to help nonprofits, their funders and networks achieve greater impact through cooperation.
LANO and Capital One Bank recently partnered to publish a survey of fiscal health among Louisiana nonprofits. This report indicates Louisiana’s nonprofit sector faces shrinking pools of funding, a drop in charitable giving, state budget cuts, and rising costs amid growing demand for services. Funding agencies and foundations increasingly encourage clients to share resources to maximize services and efficiency during the nationwide recession.
LANO President and CEO Ann Silverberg Williamson says collaboration has always been beneficial to the nonprofit sector, which traditionally operates on tight budgets even in good economic times. “We thank the Greater Baton Rouge Funders Circle and the Fieldstone Alliance for helping bring these proven strategies for cooperation to Louisiana,” Williamson said. “We look forward to sharing these techniques with all our LANO members and partners in the coming weeks.”
The Greater Baton Rouge Funders Circle includes the Baton Rouge Area Foundation, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Louisiana Foundation, Capital Area United Way, Capital One Bank, Chase Bank, Cox Communications of Louisiana, Huey and Angela Wilson Foundation, Irene W. and C.B. Pennington Foundation, Junior League of Baton Rouge, and Louisiana Disaster Recovery Foundation.
