Round Tables

The Round Table sessions are the traditional core of Rural Philanthropy Days. Each funder is assigned a table(s). During five 30-minute rounds, nonprofits rotate from table to table. Each session begins with the funder introducing her/his funding entity (foundation, corporation or government agency), its funding purposes and focus areas in 4-5 minutes. The 8-10 nonprofit representatives at the table then have roughly 90 seconds to present their nonprofit's mission and program focus or special project. Some exchange takes place, giving nonprofits a sense of whether there is enough of a fit to move forward with a proposal.
