Community Foundation Basics

While open to audiences from all states, this training includes specific content relevant to Indiana community foundations from IPA's GIFT team. Out-of-state foundations are encouraged to join IPA's National CF Boot Camps found here. Additional events will be added throughout the year or you may request personalized training.

Community Foundation Basics is an accelerated training for community foundation board members and staff. The program is an abbreviated version of our Community Foundation Boot Camp. This training provides a high-level overview of the structure and operations of a community foundation. We're offering this workshop virtually to make the training more accessible so that people can join from across the state to learn more about the community foundation field. 

Who Should Attend

This program is geared toward newer staff and board members of Indiana community foundations, as well as those looking for a refresher on the basics.

“I plan to apply what I’ve learned to some of the issues we are currently facing, as well as using the lessons to help make our future plans and projects stronger.”
