FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
The guiding principles of the EPNPRC are as follows:
-
To provide educational opportunities for area
nonprofit organizations;
-
To seek optimal utilization of limited resources
through networking among nonprofit entities; and
-
To encourage through mentoring, support and guidance
the emergence of innovation and creativity.
-
In achieving the above, the EPNPRC will serve, for
limited times, as the fiscal agent for new and emerging nonprofit
organizations.
Our focus is on all of the nonprofit groups in the
greater Estes valley. This includes existing human service organizations and
community service groups, as well as any group of people who who
have a potentially nonprofit mission (in mind) and who want to ask for our help
in becoming a federally-recognized nonprofit organization.
Generally there is no cost to participate in any of our
programs. One of our goals is to use our reputation and mission to solicit
support from vendors, potential workshop presenters, and funders so that we will not have to charge for the programs we
present or sponsor.
Those agencies that work with us as their fiscal agent
will generally not pay any fees unless their financial activities require any
extraordinary amount of our time.
Agencies or organizations that choose to attend our
workshops and training sessions will generally not be charged. Sometimes for special speakers or programs we may have to charge fees to
compensate the speaker(s) or there may
charge minimal fees to cover the cost of handouts and materials.
Our workshops are listed on this website.
Consultants are available to help organizations assess their particular and
specific needs.
Our partner agencies and agencies offering services to
similar populations are linked on this website.
