Virtual Funder Roundtables are an opportunity to directly engage with staff  from foundations and grantmaking agencies of your choosing – to introduce yourself, share a bit about your work, ask questions about fit, and speak to your needs and plans. 

This three hour session will provide participating nonprofits with the opportunity to connect with up to six funders throughout the morning, while providing ample breaks to ensure you can take care and refresh yourselves. 

Nonprofits will sign-up for sessions with the funders of their choice to be a small group with other organizations from their region. We will limit the number of participants to four in each round to ensure meaningful engagement and foster regional relationship building. 

Sign-up Process:

1. Register on the registration page to hold your space at the Roundtable, you will sign-up to connect with specific funders through a follow-up communication. Please be sure to register with the email that you will be logging into Zoom with in order to ensure quick and seamless transitions into Funder breakout rooms.
2. You will be asked to select a date to attend a virtual pre-roundtable training. These training sessions will be focused on helping your organization share your story for maximum impact and effective strategies for determining funder alignment will be reviewed.
3. After attending the virtual pre-roundtable training, you will receive the link to pick the funders you want to meet with.

Rural leaders and philanthropy need to connect to ensure that rural communities have access to the resources needed to respond and begin recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic. CRC is committed to providing spaces where rural organizations, funders, and civic leaders can connect, learn, collaborate, and access critical resources.
