🤩Last week, Turrell held a Funder’s Summit featuring @child_focus_nj to discuss the current funding and policy landscape while also hearing a nonprofit perspective!🤝Funders learned about strategies to further support nonprofits amidst funding cuts and other challenges. 🔑The biggest takeaway was for funders to have conversations with nonprofits to establish a relationship based on listening and understanding.🙌Thank you to Child Focus, an organization that provides key programs and services to support children in foster care in New Jersey, for taking the time to speak with us! And thank you to our funder partners for joining in the discussion!#TurrellFund #FunderSummit #NonprofitSupport #ChildFocusNJ #GranteeSupport
