In recent months, many funders have witnessed dramatic decreases in the value of their assets, with losses of 30% and more in some cases. The economic crisis which brought this sudden and steep downturn has also fueled a surge in human need. Unemployment, hunger, homelessness and other social ills are on the rise. How are funders serving Appalachia responding to the crisis? What are they doing to accomplish their missions with dramatically fewer resources? You are invited to participate in a conversation for funders about today's challenging economic environment. You will hear the latest information about giving in Southeast Ohio and what the forecast looks like for grantmaking in 2009. Funders will share how they plan to help nonprofits and the community weather these tough times. In addition, exchange information, ideas and tactics with colleagues to better meet the needs of the communities you serve and support. Talk with your colleagues to develop opportunities for collaboration in the region! Presenter George Espy, president, Ohio Grantmakers Forum This program is free to funders.
