What is the Stanislaus Story Toolkit?
The Stanislaus Story Nonprofit Agency Toolkit is a collaboration between Stanislaus Community Foundation, the United Way of Stanislaus County, and the Porges Family Foundation, with a goal to provide one comprehensive grant writing resource for local nonprofits. An advisory group of nonprofit groups provided input throughout the process, led by local grants guru Karen Servas. The Toolkit provides both a collective narrative as well as a singular source of data, tips, tools, and lessons that can help nonprofits secure additional revenue from multiple funders, including state and federal grants.
