An Important Message from CFF
(This message was originally sent out earlier this month. Thank you to the organizations that responded and have worked with us to get their profile published!)
Dear Nonprofit Community,
 
We are pleased to announce that our new landing page is now operational, and we are once again actively sharing Nonprofit Search with our community as the premier resource for information about local nonprofits.
 
As a community foundation, we are often asked by philanthropists about nonprofits, and we always provide Nonprofit Search as a direct resource for learning about organizations. If you are interested in connecting your nonprofit with potential supporters, we ask that you please check to see if your organization has a current Nonprofit Search profile.
 
You can do this by clicking this link, which takes you to our new landing page. Scroll down to the search bar and begin typing in your organization’s name. If your organization does not populate below in the alphabetically ordered search results, you do not have an active Nonprofit Search profile, and you might be missing out on opportunities to connect with charitable community members.
 
Currently, we have over 200 organizations that have not claimed their new Nonprofit Search profiles.
 
If your organization is not listed and you want to be listed, or if you have questions, reach out to Susan Ponce at nps@cffound.org or by phone at 407-425-2990. Susan is our Nonprofit Search manager and must be contacted in order to make your profile live. In your email or on your phone call with her, she will need your organization’s EIN #, organization name, preferred email for your login, your name, and your role/title at the organization.
 
We sincerely appreciate your time in reading this important message and look forward to working with you on this timely matter.
 
Thank you,
The Central Florida Foundation Team

 
Highlight: Nonprofit Endowment Fundholder Connect Event
This week, Central Florida Foundation hosted a Nonprofit Endowment Fundholder Connect Event, and we were so grateful to see so many wonderful faces in the room! The morning session focused on understanding their organization's Nonprofit Forever Fund, strategies to build their endowments, and the benefits of partnering with CFF. Thank you to all who attended!
 
If your organization is considering endowment, we encourage you to visit our Nonprofit Endowment page to learn more or start the conversation with us by contacting Neil Rios at nrios@cffound.org.
