November 15, 2025: PCCF 40th Anniversary Celebration Dinner
Learning Series 2025
The Putnam County Community Foundation (PCCF) recognizes the need to better equip local organizations to build their capacity to serve effectively through collaboration and education. PCCF is committed to supporting our partners’ needs by providing increased education and access to vital resources for growth. This work aims to create an increased capacity for Putnam County’s nonprofit sector, generating more effective, collective impact.
Through the Learning Series, PCCF seeks to bring valuable and timely professional development opportunities to Putnam County nonprofits and grantseekers.
In 2025, organizations that have a representative attend all three data training sessions (Sessions 2-4) will qualify for a chance to receive one of two $500 grants. Attendance at each session must be verified to ensure eligibility. After the final training session, two grantees will be selected through a random drawing. This opportunity aims to encourage full participation in the training series while providing financial support to organizations committed to enhancing their data skills. Contact Jenny Neureiter for more information.
