The Philanthropy Hub
The Santa Fe Community Foundation's building has been designed as a learning and gathering place for the philanthropic sector. Nonprofit board and staff members, philanthropists, and the general community have attended hundreds of learning opportunities with us. We welcome your input, ideas, and feedback as we partner with local facilitators to support your skill-building journey through workshops and technical assistance. We are committed to providing learning opportunities that encourage leadership development, diversity, equity, and inclusion. Join us!
Please note that all programming is via Zoom until further notice. Please contact Yolanda Cruz, Philanthropy Hub Coordinator, at ycruz@santafecf.org with any questions.

Board Training: Legal and Ethical Responsibilities for Nonprofit Board Members
with Marcia Swain
Wednesday, May 25, 2022, from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM
Members of nonprofit boards of directors serve as volunteers. Yet the responsibilities they assume for the benefit of the organizations they direct are far-reaching and complex. Board members serve as fiduciaries, occupying significant positions of trust in the performance of common law duties and responsibilities. They act as trustees of their organization’s assets held for the benefit of the communities that benefit from nonprofit activities. They are responsible for the overall organizational, programmatic, financial, and legal wellbeing of the nonprofits on whose boards they serve.
