FDR MEMORIAL LEGACY COMMITTEE CREATES HOW TO GUIDE FOR NONPROFITS
Capacity Grant Funded by HumanitiesDC
WASHINGTON, D.C. (March 29, 2023) — After receiving funding to identify best practices to bring nonprofit organizations to the next level of operational, programmatic, financial, or organizational stability or maturity, the FDR Memorial Legacy Committee (FDR Committee) is sharing their findings titled Making Collaborative Relationships Work so charitable organizations can be more effective and efficient in advancing their missions.
“Throughout 2022, we chronicled the development, implementation, and outcomes of our collaborative project with the DC Arts and Humanities Education Collaborative (DCC) to enhance educational offerings for the DC community,” explained Mary E. Dolan, Co-Founder and Executive Director, FDR Committee. “We are delighted to share the best practices we uncovered and hope they are adopted as standard operating procedures that spur the development of even more innovative educational programming available to K-12 teachers and students.”
“HumanitiesDC is proud to have been able to provide a grant that helped the FDR Memorial Legacy Committee conduct their extensive work with the DC Arts and Humanities Education Collaborative, as well as for their research and sharing of best practices surrounding nonprofit collaborations," said Rebecca Lemos-Otero, Executive Director, HumanitiesDC. We congratulate you all on these engaging initiatives that have led to the FDR Memorial Legacy Committee’s achievements in historic preservation, inclusion, accessibility, and education.”
