SUMMARY:Community Foundations for Civic Health: Virtual Learning Series
DESCRIPTION:About Community Foundations for Civic Health\n \nCommunity Foundations for Civic Health (CFCH) is a national initiative led by CFLeads\, Rhode Island Foundation\, and the National Civic League. The initiative supports community foundations in confidently advancing civic health by leveraging community leadership\, designing their own civic health strategies or plans\, and engaging in shared problem-solving and peer learning. \n“Civic health” describes all the ways people make decisions\, solve problems\, and build community together. It depends on two things: the civic readiness of individuals — their knowledge\, skills\, and connections — and the civic opportunities that communities provide to help people develop and apply those skills. Community foundations play a unique role in supporting these efforts by convening partners\, investing in civic infrastructure\, and amplifying community leadership. \nRegistration for this series has closed\, and the series is now at full capacity. We’re excited to offer another Virtual Learning Series in Spring 2027.

Participants will leave energized and better equipped to apply civic health approaches within their own communities and partner with key actors to support their efforts. \nRegister HERE \n\nLearning Objectives\n1) Build a shared understanding of civic health\, its connection to community leadership\, and opportunities to embed civic health into current foundation work. \n2) Explore approaches for identifying strategic partners and cultivating staff and board buy‑in around a shared civic health vision. \n3) Develop and strengthen understanding of strategies\, tactics\, and approaches for building\, operationalizing\, and measuring civic health work tailored to your community context. \n\nStructure & Details\n8-part virtual learning series including content experts\, peer learning\, and homework/pre-reads between each session.

SUMMARY:Community Foundations for Civic Health: Virtual Learning Series
DESCRIPTION:About Community Foundations for Civic Health\n \nCommunity Foundations for Civic Health (CFCH) is a national initiative led by CFLeads\, Rhode Island Foundation\, and the National Civic League. The initiative supports community foundations in confidently advancing civic health by leveraging community leadership\, designing their own civic health strategies or plans\, and engaging in shared problem-solving and peer learning. \n“Civic health” describes all the ways people make decisions\, solve problems\, and build community together. It depends on two things: the civic readiness of individuals — their knowledge\, skills\, and connections — and the civic opportunities that communities provide to help people develop and apply those skills. Community foundations play a unique role in supporting these efforts by convening partners\, investing in civic infrastructure\, and amplifying community leadership. \nRegistration for this series has closed\, and the series is now at full capacity. We’re excited to offer another Virtual Learning Series in Spring 2027. If you’re interested in participating\, please submit this interest form to be among the first to receive updates and registration information when the new series is announced. \n\nAbout the Virtual Learning Series\nThe Community Foundations for Civic Health Virtual Learning Series is designed for Community Foundations in the early- and mid-stages of developing or strengthening their civic health practice. This learning opportunity brings together trusted content expertise\, peer learning\, and real-world case examples from community foundations across the field\, highlighting what effective civic health work looks like in practice. \nThe series will build participants’ confidence\, clarity\, and readiness to advance civic health strategies that are rooted in community leadership\, collaboration\, and measurable impact. Participants will leave energized and better equipped to apply civic health approaches within their own communities and partner with key actors to support their efforts. \nRegister HERE \n\nLearning Objectives\n1) Build a shared understanding of civic health\, its connection to community leadership\, and opportunities to embed civic health into current foundation work. \n2) Explore approaches for identifying strategic partners and cultivating staff and board buy‑in around a shared civic health vision. \n3) Develop and strengthen understanding of strategies\, tactics\, and approaches for building\, operationalizing\, and measuring civic health work tailored to your community context. \n\nStructure & Details\n8-part virtual learning series including content experts\, peer learning\, and homework/pre-reads between each session. Each session is 90-minutes (3:00–4:30 pm ET / 12:00–1:30 PT).
