Free Workshops
In 2009, the Regional Nonprofit Alliance, together with four collaborative partners, was awarded a Together Ohio: Community Engagement Partnership Grant through the Governor's Office of Faith Based and Community Initiatives to deliver high quality capacity building and technical assistance to nonprofit organizations in 15 Appalachian counties. The collaborative partners, along with the Regional Nonprofit Alliance, include Sojourners Care Network, The Corporation for Ohio Appalachian Development, the Stevens Literacy Center at Ohio University, and the College of Osteopathic Medicine at Ohio University to create the Together Ohio: Southeast Regional Collaborative. As part of this grant, a series of free workshops are being offered.
