Underwriting
Common Good Vermont connects Vermont’s nonprofits with knowledge, training and resources that help them to become more effective service providers, partners and problem solvers. Common Good Vermont provides unique underwriting opportunities to reach this targeted group of individuals and organizations.
Why It’s Needed
The Vermont nonprofit sector is vital and growing, but lacks cost-effective and convenient access to critical information and expert advice. There are more than 2000 active nonprofits (charities and foundations) in the state. Together they generate more than $4 billion and employ 45,000 people. More than 75% have annual incomes of $250,000 or less—but are spending money in their local communities to get the job done.
Given limited resources, nonprofits of all sizes are actively looking for information and tools to enhance their organizational effectiveness in such key areas as:
- Smart purchasing of goods, services and consulting
- Fund-raising and financial management
- Leadership development for board and staff
- Volunteerism and constituent relations
- Marketing, public relations, and promotion
- Information systems and technology
- Human Resources management, compensation, and benefits
Common Good Vermont is devoted to building relationships and informing and supporting Vermont’s nonprofit organizations and their allies through reliable, trusted and easy to consume training, news and resources.
