Vote! + Nonprofit Needs Assessment Toolkit & FreshConnect Training Sessions
Weekly Meetings on Hiatus
The MANYC Food for All Team is taking a break from our Tuesday weekly evenings for the next few weeks as we restructure our team. We would love to hear your feedback as we work through this process and learn how we can best support your organizations at this stage of the pandemic. We would appreciate you taking a few moments to respond to our survey here.
Today’s the day, don’t forget to vote!
The General Election is today, November 2nd. New Yorkers will cast ballots for the city's next Mayor, Comptroller, Borough Presidents, and City Council. Also, don't forget to turn your ballot over! This year, New Yorkers will be voting for five statewide ballot measures on the back of the ballot. These five measures ask New Yorkers to select 'yes or no' on topics such as redistricting, elections, environmental, and judiciary issues.
Nonprofit Needs Assessment Toolkit
Offered by: Nonprofit New York + Network for Good
Who it’s for: Specifically, we are hoping to hear from nonprofit leaders who feel their capacity to implement a robust fund development strategy is being challenged by a lack of time, staffing, and resources.
When it’s due: November 9th
By participating in this short assessment, you will:
Have a voice in capturing the state of New York’s nonprofit sustainability;
Receive a toolkit of 200+ fundraising templates that you can put to immediate use;
Be considered for a potential fundraising capacity building cohort in 2022.
Fall FreshConnect Training Sessions
Offered by: GrowNYC
Who it’s for: Community partners or nonprofit organization who are interested in planning and operating their own Food Access program next year.
The first part of the training will be a pre-recording of the Farm stand & Food Box Information Session. The recording was done in April 2021, and the information is relatively accurate with the exception of Ag and Market funding information, which will hopefully be updated by December. In the meantime please watch our Farm stand & Food Box Information Session, this will give a brief introduction of both programs, and decide which of the two best fits your community needs.
