Julián Castro Instagram – A lot has been going on behind the scenes at LCF!
From the Grand Canyon State, to our nation’s capital and the state’s capital, we’ve been on the move!
We kicked things off by attending the Funders’ Committee for Civic Participation’s annual convening in Phoenix where our CEO @juliancastrotx addressed the nation’s civic engagement funders on the importance of investing in grassroots organizing. We also spent time with @EmpowerAZ, our brand-new get-out-the-vote partners in Arizona!🏜️
Next, our Director of Policy, Eduardo García took part in @calbudgetcenter’s Policy Insights Conference in Sacramento where he addressed how LCF, government, and nonprofit organizations are leveraging public funding to address community needs.🧑🧑🧒🧒
Also in Sacramento, our Community Organizing Director Adriana Sanchez, took part in @caforthearts’ 2nd Annual CA Arts & Culture Summit where the importance of advocating for public funding for the arts was discussed, and the importance of seeing “Art work is Real Work.”🎨
Our Senior Director of Grantmaking & Special Projects, Samantha Sandoval attended @georgetownuniversity Law’s 41st Annual Representing and Managing Tax-Exempt Organizations Conference is Washington D.C. to learn about expiring tax cuts, online giving platforms, and to ensure we are following legal parameters.✍🏽
Stay tuned to see what magic our team and community partners make next week, including hosting our first Latino Nonprofit Accelerator retreat of 2024! | Posted on 26/Apr/2024 00:46:32
