Wood River Valley non-profit groups seek regional training

Wood River Valley non-profit groups seek regional training: "Smith unveiled the results of a new study sponsored by such organizations as the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation in a workshop organized by the Wood River Women's Charitable Foundation.

Smith said that the new study, which he planned to introduce to others in several states on Friday, indicated that non-profits are 'passion-rich but resource-poor.'

Leaders need to be able to take a step back and assess what their staff needs. But grant makers tend to award grants to 'sexy' things rather than the day-to-day operating needs, which often are where the biggest needs are, Smith said."
