We are thrilled that this scholarship will allow a local nonprofit leader to join with their peers from around the country at our training center to expand their capacity to make a difference.”

The second scholarship of $1,500 will go towards a certificate in Philanthropy and Media for an individual residing on Cape Cod and working or planning to work for a Cape Cod non-profit organization. The scholarship will go to the Cape Cod Community Media Center to be used by one of the individuals applying for the Certificate.

Terry Duenas, Executive Director for the Cape Cod Community Media Center says, “Thank you to the Planned Giving Council and their generous donation to the Certificate in Philanthropy and Media program. It is this type of forward thinking generosity that invests in individuals who are committed to the work of non-profits on Cape Cod. This is the type of investment in people that will continue to pay dividends now and in the future. ”
