Foundation Center Takes Spanish-Language Fundraising Training Across the Country
Instruction Dedicated to Nonprofits Serving Latino Communities
September 20, 2005, New York, NY—In a new initiative, the Foundation Center is offering free Spanish-language fundraising training in seven cities across the U.S. and Puerto Rico this fall. Part of a wider effort to expand its resources for Latino communities, the Center's full-day program covers the basics of fundraising and proposal writing and provides networking opportunities for Spanish-speaking representatives of nonprofit organizations.
Luz Rodriguez, the Center's training coordinator in New York, will present the program at the Center's library/learning centers in Atlanta (Oct. 6), San Francisco (Oct. 18), Washington, DC (Nov. 16), Cleveland (Nov. 18), and New York (Nov. 29), and also in Miami (Oct. 25) and San Juan, Puerto Rico (Oct. 28).
"Since we launched our first Spanish-language class in New York two years ago, we have been striving to find more ways to serve this significant segment of our audience. This full-day event offers fundraisers a unique opportunity to focus on the grantseeking process and exchange information in their own language."
The program is free, and attendees receive a free copy of the Spanish-language version of the Center's book on proposal writing: Guía para escribir propuestas.
