Published March 05, 2007 09:03 pm - Utilize resource center’s assistance If you are involved in a local nonprofit, we encourage you to attend today’s grand opening of the Muskogee Nonprofit Resource Center.
The center has been needed for a long time in Muskogee. Most nonprofits are staffed and run by volunteers, but operating a nonprofit can be a complicated and demanding enterprise. Raising funds and accounting for expenditures — besides doing the work the nonprofit was established for — demands many hours and more financial and operational expertise than the normal layman usually has. In fact, in the past, several Muskogee nonprofits that provided valuable services found themselves in financial trouble. No one in Muskogee should want to see that happen again. That’s why the center will be a valuable resource. Of course, it won’t be much help if organizations don’t take advantage of it. That’s why we encourage you to join. Yes, it will cost, but the cost — tax-exempt members $100 and individuals $35 annually — is well worth the benefit. Membership in the center, whose executive director is Lisa Raasch, is open to nonprofits, churches, tribes, grant-making organizations, public benefit corporations, individuals, businesses and government agencies interested in promoting and supporting Muskogee’s greater good. If you go WHAT: Muskogee Nonprofit Resource Center grand opening WHEN: 9 a.m. today. WHERE: NSU-Muskogee Campus (2400 W. Shawnee Bypass), Mike Synar Center, Room 228.
