16 Area Nonprofit Professionals Earn CFRM

Today marks the culmination of a significant transformative investment in our nonprofit sector as 16 professionals graduated from our three-year cohort, earning their Lilly Family School of Philanthropy Certificate in Fund Raising Management! Our foundation provided over $80,000 in funding to bring the Lilly instructors to our community, elevating our entire sector by providing access to this gold-standard in fundraising while eliminating the barriers of travel and course fees.
