framework for nonprofit program outcomes and indicators for
success.
We express our gratitude to Wells Fargo for providing the funding
for our new website. The goal of this project has been to create
a highly accessible resource for all nonprofit organizations in
the region, providing information at the fingertips of executive
directors, staff and board members.

helping us to leverage the website grant into a regional resource
hub, and we appreciate their dedication.
