The Community Foundation places great value on community convening to be as strategic as possible when providing resources to Nantucket’s most pressing community needs. Our Advisory Committee of health care workers, educators, clergy, police, town officials, the media and others, meet throughout the year to identify and prioritize the Island’s most critical needs.
Members of the Advisory Committee are elected annually by the Board of Trustees. Members are updated on grant making and other activities of the Foundation so that they can help the general public develop an awareness of and involvement in the policies, purposes, objectives, and operations of the Foundation.

Nantucket Nonprofit Leadership Conference
On Wednesday, September 26th, 135 of Nantucket’s nonprofit leaders, representing 45 Island charities, joined the Community Foundation for Nantucket for the first annual Nantucket Nonprofit Leadership Conference.
Thanks to the vision and generosity of a CFN benefactor, the Foundation was able to offer our Island nonprofit leadership teams and board members a full day workshop. Participants were able to learn from experts in the field on topics that included Strategic Planning, Board Development, Outcomes Based Planning and Nonprofit Finances. Workshop presenters included Bud Ris, Nanette Fridman, Brian Kellaway and David Orlinoff.
We are already looking forward to next year.
