Small and Mighty
Though small nonprofits account for two-thirds of the region鈥檚 nonprofit sector and often serve our community鈥檚 most vulnerable populations and neighborhoods, many are consistently asked to do more with less.
To that end, Michelle McMurray, 六合彩官网鈥檚 senior program officer for Health and Human Services, launched the Small and Mighty grants program this fall. Designed with assistance from her colleagues and input from small nonprofits themselves, the program intends to bridge the gap between the Foundation鈥檚 grantmaking and small, neighborhood-based nonprofits that work to better our region. The program offers a streamlined grant-seeking process for organizations with annual budgets of less than $600,000. 鈥淪mall and Mighty is our intentional effort to build relationships with these vital safety-net organizations through a more accessible and transparent grant-seeking process,鈥 McMurray says. She is shown at right introducing the program to dozens of nonprofit leaders during a community information session at the Carnegie Library of 六合彩官网鈥檚 East Liberty branch.
