NE Philanthropy Days provided the opportunity to network with new foundations which generated new funding for our organization. It also allowed us to build relationships with foundations that currently fund Baby Bear Hugs. I greatly value being able to get together with the leaders of other nonprofits and organizations because I always learn so much from them.”
Ruth Seedorf, Baby Bear Hugs Director

“Philanthropy Days is a fantastic way to not only get to know many various funding organizations, but to network with nonprofits from around the region. Philanthropy Days helped our organization become more confident about our grant requests. We discovered organizations in our own backyard with whom we could collaborate with and also new funders that shared our passion for the growth and development of children ages 6 weeks to 12 years. The Wray Community Child Care Center benefited from our involvement in Philanthropy Days and we are so excited it is back again.” Andrea Anderson, Board of Director, Chairperson
