Learning and Leadership

Strong, skilled leaders are essential to building sustainable nonprofit organizations and a healthy, thriving community.  The Community Foundation’s learning and leadership offerings are designed with a commitment to continuous learning, high-quality programming and an exceptional learner experience.  In creating and promoting curriculum, we strive to connect learners to industry-leading subject matter experts as our facilitators and instructors. Together, our goal is to provide you with current and compelling insights, information and tools that can be applied to your work immediately.

*UPDATE* Community Foundation Learning During COVID-19

The Community Foundation has temporarily closed its office at 3409 Moore Street in accordance with recommendations for social distancing.  Until further notice, the Community Foundation has transitioned in-person learning opportunities to online virtual events and classes where possible.

Please stay tuned to ConnectVA and the Community Foundation for updates or contact Scott Andrews-Weckerly for more information.  Registrants in affected classes have been contacted by email.

During this time, the Foundation will remain fully staffed and fully operational. Staff will continue to be accessible by phone and by email as they would be if they were working from our building. We also will use virtual/video meetings when possible.
