Need fundraising information in Spanish?

Nationally, the Foundation Center has been expanding its services  and resources to meet the needs of Spanish speaking communities and the nonprofits that serve them. One example is our proposal writing book in Spanish. A number of FC free online training tutorials are also available in Spanish.

Here in DC we have offered a number of  training programs in Spanish in cooperation with the DC Office of Latino Affairs and the Latino Federation of Greater Washington. A section of the DC web site is in Spanish.  It  contains information about programs, training and FAQs in Spanish.

Please help us spread the word about these resources.  Muchas gracias!
