Hillsdale, MI, April 24, 2017
The Hillsdale County Community Foundation, as part of a commitment to the success of our local nonprofit agencies, is sponsoring a series of free educational workshops for local organizations.

Trainings will be facilitated by representatives from the Nonprofit Network, with HCCF providing resources and information that pertains specifically to challenges and opportunities in Hillsdale County.
