NEW FUNDS TO BENEFIT THE COMMUNITY

The Renton Community Foundation is hosting a new 'giving circle' to develop the next generation of community leaders in Renton. The Next Curve will be comprised of individuals who wish to be more engaged in their community but may not know how to make meaningful connections. The group will not only make grants to benefit a broad array of community needs, members can choose to participate in educational, networking and/or social opportunities. The group will increase the flow of charitable dollars to priority areas of need through a $250 annual membership fee (which can be paid monthly or quarterly). Members will be invited to monthly meetings to, 1) explore and learn about the non-profit world through presentations and tours, 2) build community knowledge through networking with community leaders, and 3) recommend annual grant recipients to the Foundation board.
