Registration

Virtual Series Beginning March 30 | Registration period: February 1 - March 1

The Iowa Council of Foundations is pleased to once again offer a virtual Community Foundations Boot Camp this Spring.  The Boot Camp will be presented by the Indiana Philanthropy Alliance. The purpose of the Boot Camp is to provide an overview of the structure and operations of a community foundation. This training is open to host and affiliate staff, contractors, board and advisory committee members, and volunteers.

The Boot Camp is designed to be an intensive dive into all functions of a community foundation. We recommend that you plan to attend each session, because there is a large amount of information covered in each topic area.
