Typically April is when Collective 365 is deep into our grant application review process, but this April we are in a season of not only prioritizing rest, but also planting seeds (aka hosting events and fundraising) and exercising patience as we wait for the bloom (aka our grant season to begin). We invite you to come outside with us. Collective 365 wants to (re)connect with our members, donors, supporters, and grant applicants in-person and virtually. |
