LOCAL NONPROFITS STRENGTHEN PARTNERSHIPS
R ochester Nonprofit Consortium has announced its intent to become a program of Rochester Area Foundation (RAF). The Consortium is currently a fis - cally sponsored project under the RAF umbrella. This move will solidify the relationship between the two entities providing greater stability and enhanced support for the Consortium from RAF staff. The Consortium was founded in 2016 as an informal group of nonprofit executive directors interested in finding new ways to work together and create efficiencies for their organizations. Funding from Otto Bremer Trust, Mayo Clinic, and Rochester Area Foun- dation, as well as guidance by an Executive Com- mittee of nine diverse nonprofits, produced a thriving organization working to develop shared services and resources to increase operational efficiency among nonprofits. In response to the COVID-19 crisis, the Consortium quickly became a hub for cross-sector collaboration on complex issues facing our commu-
nity. “Rochester Area Foundation has been a won- derful partner in helping us to grow the Consortium and provide value to Rochester’s nonprofit commu - nity,” said outgoing Consortium Executive Director Terri Allred. “They are committed to keeping mem- ber priorities at the heart of this program and I am confident that this move is the right one for the Consortium and the membership.” “We are delighted to provide further support to and strengthen our relationship with the Rochester Nonprofit Consortium,” RAF President Jennifer Woodford shares. “RAF’s mission is in direct alignment with the mission of the Consortium with both organizations committed to bringing people together to solve complex community problems.” Upon this transition, Carrie Moscho, RAF Community Impact Officer, will take the lead in coordinating Consortium activities and serving members.
