It’s the third Thursday of the month, which means we are joined by the Community Foundation of Lorain County!

Development Officer and friend of the Morning Show, Laura Malone, returned to discuss plenty of things, including the 2023 Power of Endowment, their annual event for non-profits to help them steward donations and other ins and outs of non-profit work. It also serves as their kick-off annual Connect to a Cause campaign!

The 2023 Power of Endowment takes place next Friday, January 27th, from 8:30-11am at the Amherst Historical Society!
