Nonprofit leaders and community partners gathered Saturday at Patrick & Henry Community College's Patrick County site in Stuart for a daylong summit on running and sustaining small nonprofit organizations. The Patrick County Chamber of Commerce and Virginia Tech's Reynolds Homestead organized the event with support from the Patrick County Economic Development Authority.
The program opened with an address on the power of the third sector, the term used for nonprofit organizations, then moved into sessions on recruiting, retaining and supporting volunteers. Afternoon workshops covered board management, measuring organizational impact, and nonprofit finance, including grants, municipal funding and how to make the case for support.
A panel closed the day on building sustainability at different stages of an organization's development. Organizers said the goal is to give smaller groups the same tools that larger nonprofits already use, and to connect leaders across county lines who are working on similar problems.
