Keeping the Doors Open

In 2011, the Hind Foundation granted $75,000 to the Nonprofit Support Center to keep the doors open for the remote San Luis Obispo location after the Santa Barbara headquarters closed its doors. The Nonprofit Support Center San Luis Obispo (NSCSLO) provides high quality, low-cost training, consulting services, and resource center assistance to hundreds of nonprofit organizations countywide. The granted funds have enabled the San Luis Obispo location to continue its operations and to fulfill a large need for nonprofit training and resources. NSCSLO works closely with nonprofits to identify their needs and offer programming organizational and business practices, such as financial stability, program development, and board development.

Noteworthy Results

• Saved Resources
  Hundreds of local nonprofits will continue to utilize the NSCSLO resources, training, and workshops that would no longer be available without the Hind Foundation Grant.

• A Grant that Keeps on Giving
  Grant monies provided to NSCSLO continue to give back to other nonprofits through workshops and training where multiple nonprofits come together to further their education and then implement learned strategies and ideas in order to achieve their individual missions.
