'Nonprofit Times' Top 50 List Includes Greater Cincinnati CEO

The NonProfit Times released its eleventh annual Power and Influence Top 50 list. As PhilanTopic reported last week, the big news in the current year is the number of first-timers on the list, perhaps signaling the beginning of the first wave of leadership transitions from the old guard to the new.

One Ohioan made the list, and for the first time. Here is her profile along with our hearty congratulations!

Kem200611Kathryn E. Merchant, President and Chief Executive Officer, The Greater Cincinnati Foundation, Cincinnati, Ohio. 

"[Ms. Merchant's] leadership is moving beyond building assets for the greater Cincinnati area to building a national network for community foundation services. She might be the only executive to navigate the choppy waters between the Council on Foundations, GivingNet, and the state’s regional association."

In the News: Free Funding Information Center Established in Zanesville

David Holmes, regional training coordinator at the Foundation Center-Cleveland, recently visited our newly established Cooperating Collection in Zanesville, Ohio, which is housed at the Muskingum County Community Foundation and provides free access to the Foundation Directory Online Professional and other funding information. While visiting Zanesville, Mr. Holmes presented our free class, Grantseeking Basics, for the public served by the new Collection. Very well-received, the Zanesville Times Recorder ran an article about the event that includes some nice quotes from audience members along with this one from Mr. Holmes: "It was a great group, very eager to learn. I'll probably be back to do other classes. Anything we can do that can help folks find more potential funders is what we're about." 

If you are interested in learning more about our Cooperating Collections and how to establish one in your area, or how to schedule Foundation Center training for your group, we would love to hear form you.
