Nonprofit Resources

Resources for Nonprofit Organizations 

In this time of crisis, nonprofits are quite challenged due to cancelled programs and events, loss of income and trying to make plans during uncertain times.  We believe that the work that our nonprofits do is critical to our community and we need these agencies now more than ever. BCF is committed to support them during these challenging times.  

Below is a list of resources that we hope will be helpful to all of our nonprofit partners.  We will continue to update this list over the next few months.  If you are aware of a resource, please send information to Susanmatheny@berriencommunity.org.
