Our community has been served bravely by veterans throughout
Placer County. In addition, the families of those veterans
have also served as they supported their soldier deployed to
service and/or combat, tending to home issues.
Supporting veterans returning home to our community is now the
order of the day, including mobilizing resources in the areas
employment, housing, engagement in activities, medical care and
mental health services, family support, etc.
The Placer Collaborative Network is hosting this Open Forum as a
beginning of our conversation regarding how we can collaborate to
better serve those who have served us.

It’s time to get back to basics and pay attention to the nuts and bolts of producing a winning grant proposal.

In this year’s survey, more than 4,500 respondents at
nonprofits across the country shared the details of how they
are adapting their organizations and finances to economic
conditions. The survey, which was supported for the
second year in a row by the Bank of America Charitable
Foundation, reveals that while 2011 was a year of significant
organizational and programmatic changes, many nonprofits are
still facing fundamental challenges that threaten the stability
of the sector and the well-being of the people they serve.
A good social media policy will provide clear guidelines as to
what staff should and shouldn’t do when posting and interacting
with the community on a day-to-day basis.
