Orange County Grantmakers’ Post

⏰ Calling all OC nonprofit leaders! ⏰ Our friends at Charitable Ventures are launching the 2024 Orange County Nonprofit Capacity and Needs Survey, a pivotal initiative to gain insights into the strengths, existing organizational capacity, and needs of the nonprofits in OC.

To show their appreciation, Charitable Ventures will enter each organization that submits a completed survey into a drawing to win one of 15 grants of $1,000 each. Don’t wait! The survey closes on September 27, 2024, at 5:00 PM.

“Nonprofits are, in some ways, uniquely positioned to ensure that every eligible voter’s voice, whatever their political persuasion, is heard. Prospective voters contacted by nonprofits about voting are 10 percentage points more likely to vote than those who are not.” Our mission at OCG revolves around improving equity outcomes in Orange County and Beyond, and like mentioned in this article from Nonprofit Quarterly, working to mobilize voters is part of that effort! 🗳️ Shoutout to Charitable Ventures, too, who we have worked with to reignite the OC Votes, Get Out the Vote Campaign this year!  To read the whole article, visit the link here: https://lnkd.in/gNPHmB9Y
