Proactive, Impactful, Loyal, Leader, Accountable, Resourceful, Strategic
The Community PILLARS certificate program was designed to improve the overall governance of local charities. Presented in six sessions which align with an accreditation tool of the Pennsylvania Association of Nonprofit Organizations, the PILLARS program addresses industry best practices in the charitable sector.
On the open market, this course could easily cost participants thousands of dollars. But, with the in-kind support of our presenters, all of whom are experts in their fields, the Foundation is able to provide this comprehensive training course at no cost to participants.
Community PILLARS is particularly valuable for charity representatives who are new to their leadership roles.
