Technical Assistance
The Community Foundations is a partner to nonprofits in the region. We will work with nonprofits providing advice on grantwriting, planned giving, endowment building, board governance and more.
BoardStrong
If you are looking for Board Members, BoardStrong has created a board member matching website. Organizations can create a board posting and search available candidate profiles. Candidates can also search board openings and contact organizations from each posted opportunity. The site also offers courses to educate prospective and current board members about roles, responsibilities, and best practices for effective board governance

Grantwriting
Our website provides detailed information on our current grant opportunities and funding priorities. If you feel your organization or program aligns with our resources and objectives, please contact our program department (grants@communityfoundationshv.org) to arrange a phone meeting to discuss your organization and programs. We welcome the opportunity to learn more about the needs and goals of our non-profit community. During open grant periods program staff time is more limited, but we strive to provide constructive feedback and technical grant support when requests for review are received well in advance of application due dates. Should you have any technical issues with our grants portal, please contact us at: grants@communityfoundationshv.org or 845-452-3077.
