Rural Non-Profit Networking Group to Discuss Fiscally Responsible Marketing Alternatives
The Rural Non-Profit Networking Group (RNNG) is an opportunity for the organizations that do so much good in our rural communities to share their missions and visions, discuss community needs and partnership opportunities, bring in experts to facilitate growth and professionalism, and simply connect to maximize the efficiency and impact that participants can bring to Fayette, Colorado, Lavaca and surrounding counties. Since reactivating post-pandemic shutdown, the group is more energized than ever, back to meeting monthly, and incorporating an educational aspect into each gathering.
This month Combined Community Action (CCA) will be hosting the RNNG gathering on Wednesday, Feb. 9 at 10 a.m. The gathering will be held at their office in Giddings (165 W. Austin St., parking and entrance are at the back of the building). Karen Walpole, CCA Communications Director, will be hosting the meeting. The program will be “Further Your Funds, Further Your Cause”. Many non-profits today struggle with in-house operations. It’s hard to have an effective online presence due to smaller staffs, budget restrictions or both. This presentation will explore free and low-cost options for nonprofits to utilize in their efforts to make their presence stronger and their dollars go further. Vendors within the world of Marketing, Productivity, Website Services, Fundraising, and more that people may not realize offer free or low-cost selections to non-profits will be shared. This helps funding dollars go further. Attendees who may know of any vendors that work with non-profits are encouraged to bring their information to share because we are only as strong as the communities we support, and that includes each other.
Since 1966 Combined Community Action Inc, has been serving the needs of low-income families and senior adults in rural central Texas to help change lives and assist people.
