That's in keeping with the theme of the conference: Empowering Community: Inspire.
"That's why we have been very deliberate about keeping the registration fee low at $20 per person and offering scholarships," says Marge Smith, who runs the event with a team of volunteers and is also the founder of Princeton Community Works, per a press release.
This year's event will feature 25 new workshops, per PCW's website, and "more importantly, our top-level speakers offer practical and proven strategies for empowering nonprofits of all sizes and potential," per the release.
Those interested can choose as many or as few workshops as they'd like.Selected Grant News Headlines
