Community Development Speaker Series with national correspondent with the Nonprofit Quarterly

If you work for or with a non-profit agency or philanthropic foundation, you’ll want to attend the next event in the Community Development Speaker Series hosted by  the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City. On July 20th from 1:30 – 3:00 p.m., Rick Cohen, the national correspondent for Nonprofit Quarterly, will share his views about the current state of  philanthropy and the nonprofit sector  at the FRB’s Oklahoma City office, located at 228 Dean McGee Avenue.

His writing for NPQ and other outlets advocates for increased philanthropic giving and access for disadvantaged and disenfranchised constituencies.
