Leadership Development Grants Program — The Helen J. Serini Foundation Leadership Development Grants Program The Helen J. Serini Foundation is committed to investing in the human capital and professional leadership of our community's non-profits to ensure success today and into the future.
In order to do so, this small grants program was launched specifically to provide leadership and/or professional development for key staff within your organization. In 2018 and 2019, this program was co-funded by the Ausherman Family Foundation, making additional funding available for Frederick County nonprofits.
The Ausherman Family Foundation recognizes the importance of capacity building, including leadership development in nonprofits, and is supporting this program in the spirit of collaboration.
In 2020, responding to community feedback in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic and continued racial reckoning across the United States and in the communities we aim to serve, this funding was used to develop and host equity, diversity, and inclusion training programs for local non-profits and foundation grant partners at no cost to the participants.
In 2021 and beyond, Leadership Development Grants will be considered as part of our small grants program, rather than as a separate funding priority. Organizations interested in specific funding for leadership development can learn more and apply via our Small Grants Program . Photo credit: Sandis Helvigs | Source: Unsplash.
