(ECCF), a nonprofit serving

for the 2021 Institute for
Trustees (IFT) is now open.
The IFT – now in its 12th
year – is ECCF’s annual conference
inviting nonprofit
leaders to gather together
for a full day of educational
workshops and powerful
networking opportunities.
Like the 2020 conference,
the 2021 IFT will be delivered
virtually, providing
attendees the flexibility to
attend from wherever they
are, and the value of attending
as many sessions as they
choose. New this year, ECCF
will partner with Berkshire
Taconic Community Foundation
– ECCF’s counterpart
located in the Western part
of Massachusetts – to expand
the reach of the event.
“We are thrilled that
Berkshire Taconic is joining
us for this year’s IFT,” said
ECCF President and CEO
Beth Francis. “By extending
an IFT invitation to nonprofit
leaders in the western
part of the state, we’ll be
able to share the wealth of
information offered by our
presenters, experts in their
fields, to a greater number
of the state’s nonprofit organizations
and expand the
opportunity for nonprofits
in both regions to make
connections with peers
across the state.”
“And so many wonderful
things can happen as
a result of those new connections,”
Francis added.
“Innovative ideas, shared
solutions and new crossstate
friendships are all on
the table this year.”
The IFT kicks off on April
7 with a keynote address by
Phil Buchanan, president
of the Center for Effective
Philanthropy, who will discuss
“Leading for Nonprofit
Impact Amid Unprecedented
Challenge.” Then, nearly two
dozen workshops and opportunities
to connect with fellow
attendees through topic-driven,
informal peer discussions
will be spread over the course
of the next four weeks.
“We are really excited
about this year’s robust
lineup,” said Carol Lavoie
Schuster, ECCF’s vice president
for grants, nonprofit
and donor services. “There’s
really something for every
type and size of nonprofit.”
Workshop topics include
racial equity, endowment-building,
crisis planning,
governance, advocacy,
finance and much more.

IFT, visit: eccf.org. Secure
the early-bird rate of $110
through March 7; after
that, tickets are $130. Registrations

through April 7. For more
