The Capital Campaign Review Board

The Capital Campaign Review was formed to assist Greater Reading's Non-Profits with their fundraising needs. The purpose of this Board is:

• To evaluate the purposes, justification, and viability of proposed community appeals for capital funds by local agencies, organizations, and institutions who wish to seek funds beyond their own membership.
• To provide a service to the community by administering a system that evaluates the community's most critical social and economic needs, approves and schedules appeals for capital funds according to the community needs and ability to support them.
• To report all recommendations made by the Board to member constituencies and the community at large.

Resources for Non-Profits

Non-profits play an important role in the communities that they serve.  They provide much needed services that otherwise may be limited or not accessible to the community in need.  Just like any other business, non-profits need to run efficiently and effectively to ensure their longevity so that they can continue to provide to the needs of the community. There are various resources available to assist non-profit organizations.

Pennsylvania Association of Non-Profit Organizations (PANO) - PANO is the statewide membership organization serving and advancing the charitable nonprofit sector through leadership, advocacy, education and services in order to improve the quality of life in Pennsylvania. For more information on PANO, contact them at 717-236-8584 or visit their website.

SCORE - The Reading, PA Chapter is part of SCORE "Counselors to America's Small Business," a national nonprofit association dedicated to entrepreneur education and the formation, growth and success of the nation's small businesses.  Their services are also available to the non-profit community.  For more information or for assistance, call them at 610-376-3497 or visit their website.
