Agency Professional
Development Support

The Greater Cabarrus Foundation is dedicated to fostering the growth and success of nonprofit agencies in Cabarrus County through our Agency Professional Development Support. Once every three months, the Foundation is sponsoring a single topic lunch and learn workshop focusing on one area of nonprofit administration followed by an opportunity for fellowship and networking. 

By investing in the skills and capacity of agency staff, we empower them to innovate, collaborate, and address community needs with greater impact and efficiency. Together, we strive to build a resilient nonprofit sector that drives positive change and improves the quality of life for all residents of Cabarrus County.
