InnerAct Alliance and our coalition partners, Stand UP Polk and UthMpact, are proud recipients of an Empower Polk grant of $2,000 from the GiveWell Community Foundation to support Leadership Progression. The GiveWell Community Foundation's Empower Polk grant cycle aims to help local nonprofits invest in their organization's efficiency and sustainability.
Funding from the Empower Polk grant will allow InnerAct Alliance to continue developing defined strategic planning priorities that will reaffirm the agency’s mission and values, monitor board effectiveness, encourage ongoing board development, and help set both long and short-term priorities and measurable outcomes.
“We are extremely grateful for the support of the GiveWell Community Foundation to assist our agency in the strategic planning process that will empower our nonprofit agency to better fulfill our mission and continue supporting our community,” said Angie Ellison, executive director of InnerAct Alliance.
