Nonprofits provide essential services in Central Oregon
In October, the first National Nonprofit Congress was held in Washington, D.C. The conference theme: Many Missions, One Voice. Thanksa to a grant from Meyer Memorial Trust, Jan Eggleston, the executive director of Deschutes Children’s Foundation, was fortunate to be among more than 400 delegates from 48 states and as far away as New Zealand. Delegates drew inspiration from the impressive speakers (among them Nobel laureate Jody Williams) and interactions with people doing good work all over the country, but the Congress was about much more.
