❓ How strong is your nonprofit where it matters most? Shifting funding streams, rising community needs, changing public policies, staff burnout, and donor fatigue are testing every nonprofit leader right now — and the pressure to do more with less keeps building.

🌟 Sponsored by the Broward Center for Nonprofit Excellence at the Community Foundation of Broward, the Resilience Bootcamp equips nonprofit leaders to strengthen five essential areas of organizational resilience: leadership, governance, financial sustainability, narrative, and relationships. This is a six-session intensive program, delivered through Zoom and in-person sessions.

📣 The Bootcamp starts with our first in-person session on Tuesday, October, 13.

💜 Through a practical exploration of leadership, governance, financial, narrative, and relational resilience, you'll assess where your organization is strong, where it's vulnerable, and what focused actions can build greater stability, trust, and readiness for the future.

Thank you to everyone who joined us today for an informative discussion about the implications of a proposed amendment to Florida’s constitution that would affect local property taxes as well as local government services.

This November, Florida voters will consider Amendment 3, a homestead property tax ballot measure that could affect our community in many ways – from household budgets to the local services we all rely on.

To help raise awareness about what's at stake, the Community Foundation of Broward partnered with United Way Broward, the Greater Fort Lauderdale Alliance, Broward Workshop and Tower Forum to host a balanced, nonpartisan conversation – held via Zoom – with experts on the issue.

The free virtual session, moderated by Tom Hudson of WLRN Public Radio, featured Broward County Property Mary Kiar, State Sen. Dr. Barbara Sharief and former State Sen. Jeff Brandes, Founder and President of the Florida Policy Project. The event is one of the ways we help keep Community Foundation fundholders, Legacy Society members and other community partners informed, engaged and connected on issues affecting life in Broward.

One of the Community Foundation of Broward’s most important roles is to keep our fundholders, Legacy Society members and other community partners informed, engaged and connected on issues affecting life in Broward.

Word is spreading about an inspiring public art initiative proposed to light up Fort Lauderdale’s 17th Street Causeway Bridge. On Sept. 24, the Community Foundation of Broward was a part of a special reception showcasing “Everyone Under the Stars,” a light-based artwork that will dramatically transform this key community artery into a mesmerizing visual experience. This dynamic public art project, to be completed in late 2027 or early 2028, will shine a colorful combination of lights on the bridge, creating an awe-inspiring complement to the new Broward Convention Center and Omni Hotel and re-imagined Pier Sixty-Six. The reception – presented by the Community Foundation, the Cultural Foundation of Broward and the Broward County Cultural Division – was held at held at Pier Sixty-Six Residences overlooking the bridge, where potential supporters learned more about the project and connected with the artist and project leaders.

❓ Is your cultural organization built to navigate uncertainty?
Cultural organizations carry a particular kind of weight: the mission is the art, but the survival depends on everything around it, leadership, governance, funding, story, and the relationships that keep a community showing up.

🌟 Sponsored by the Broward Center for Nonprofit Excellence at the Community Foundation of Broward, The Resilience Cultural Bootcamp is five focused workouts built specifically for arts and culture leaders, designed to strengthen the capacities that let a cultural organization respond, adapt, and keep creating, even when the ground shifts under it. This is a six-session intensive program, delivered through Zoom and in-person sessions.

📣 The Bootcamp starts with our first in-person session on Tuesday, October, 13.

💜 Through a practical exploration of leadership, governance, financial, narrative, and relational resilience, you'll assess where your organization is strong, where it's vulnerable, and what focused actions can build greater stability, trust, and readiness for the future.
