NEW! Training Fund Access Expanded!

Since 2019, we have been fortunate to receive support from the Williamsburg Health Foundation to provide training funds to local nonprofit staff and Board members serving the City of Williamsburg, James City County, and York County, to attend classes at the Nonprofit Management Institute.

NOW, we are pleased to report that the criteria for these training funds has been expanded and funds are now also available to graduates of the LEAD Historic Triangle Program, as well as to employees from the greater Williamsburg faith community!

We are grateful to the Williamsburg Health Foundation for their continued support of this program. To learn more, click here.
