Chester County Funders Community of Practice

Reserve March 16th at 8:30 AM for the next Chester County Funders' Community of Practice meeting. The Chester County Funders Community of Practice provides an opportunity for donors who fund in Chester County to stay abreast of what's happening in the County and learn with and from peers.  At the March session we will continue our discussion related to understanding risk in the context of philanthropic practices that have emerged in the last few years.  Additionally, we will discuss Hurricane IDA recovery efforts and lessons learned from our peers who are still so deeply engaged in addressing the aftermath of the hurricane. As always, we are interested in learning more about “what is happening in your neck of the woods.”
