Asking for your help to name our newsletter

One of the best ways to communicate with the entire community is through a regular free
newsletter, and we are looking for a list of possible names for it. Please submit your entries here or at bhnonprofitcoop@gmail.com

The newsletter will contain articles about the nonprofit organizations and space for nonprofits to make announcements.

There will also be a place for volunteer to have a voice.

Your invitation to our first Social!

This event was originally scheduled for the 13th, but that is the night of the presidential debates.


Our first Social is scheduled for Tuesday, October 20th, from 6:00 to 8:00 pm in the large conference room at the Chetco Community Public Library. We plan to host a Social every month to keep up with the busy nonprofit calendar. Refreshments will be served.

Everyone is welcome to attend. We hope to offer potential donors and volunteers the opportunity to get to know more about the community's nonprofit organizations.

After everyone has had a chance to introduce themselves and tell others about their organizations and what they are planning over the next few months, we will talk about creating a new nonprofit list and a calendar of events.

Please RSVP bhnonprofitcoop@gmail.com.

Welcome to the Brookings Harbor Nonprofit Coop!

Scott Clapson and I had a very productive phone conversation this evening about the Wild Rivers Community Foundation's monthly non-profit meeting, and we agreed there is a great deal of potential for growth by also spinning off to establish a local group. We talked about whether changing the time of the meeting would make a difference in getting more non-profits leaders involved, and so this site was born.

Our goal is to enable local nonprofits to collaborate on helping the local non-profit community reach its highest potential, developing and supporting the resources that are available, and even possibly offering some helpful advice on how to overcome the glitches in starting and running a non-profit organization.

Some of the ways we can grow is to offer local non-profit leaders the opportunity to speak and share their expertise, or to talk about their programs and exempt purposes, networking during events, to bring in local business people, such as attorneys and accountants, to speak about compliance issues, creating a newsletter to let the public know more about us...

The list is endless, and the potential is here for unlimited growth.

Scott and I would like to invite you to share in the making the local non-profit community the best it can be.

Karen Holmes,
Principal
The World Peace Organization for the One World Government
