CORE Match for Change Organization Participants
Round 3 / 2014-15
In CORE's 2014-15 Match for Change, six community benefit organizations, 18 consultants, and 20 volunteer Connectors had the opportunity to reflect on their strengths, opportunities for growth, and new ways of looking at their work as well as build an ever growing network of connections.
Each of the six organizations chose a consultant from those recommended through the match-making process and received a $500 grant to plan their capacity-building work together. Four of these organizations (*) then requested and received matching funding to support their work with their consultants.
