TS Community Foundation to host nonprofit planned giving workshop

The TS Community Foundation,a new affiliate of Pottawattamie County Community Foundation, is excited to host its third annual educational retreat for nonprofits on Tuesday, Oct. 8.

The workshop, hosted at The Palace Event Center just outside Treynor, will be geared toward nonprofit professionals focused on planning giving and working with benefactors. The event begins at 8:30 a.m. with a light breakfast and lunch also included.

The annual workshop hosted by TS Community Foundation launched in 2017 to help build upon the educational resources for local nonprofits and engage the surrounding communities.

The event will feature a panel discussion and a featured presentation from Iowa West Foundation President and CEO Pete Tulipana.

“Strong nonprofits are the backbone of our communities. The partnership between nonprofits and philanthropy is an essential one to create and sustain a service delivery system that every community must have,” Tulipana said. “That partnership requires both parties to approach the relationship with respect and a willingness to understand the restraints and the possibilities that each bring to the partnership.”

The cost to attend is $25 per person, with the majority of the ticket costs pooled to create a collective donation to the Pottawattamie County Community Foundation Southwest Iowa Mental Health & Substance Abuse Fund. Space is still available for the workshop.

“Our area nonprofit partners are the cornerstone of our community, helping to create lasting change and positive results for families and individuals in the areas they serve. That is the reason supporting the work of our non-profit partners is of paramount importance to both the Pottawattamie County Community Foundation and the TS Community Foundation,” Pottawattamie County Community Foundation President Donna Dostal said. “We are excited to provide this learning opportunity geared at helping our area agencies learn from the experts on how to best leverage estate and legacy giving.”
