Mission
The mission of the Greater Sandpoint Chamber of Commerce Nonprofit Development Council is to provide programs and services to our nonprofit community, foster partnership among our nonprofits, and assist them in finding and utilizing the resources they need to remain a viable nonprofit.
Opportunities
Nonprofit Booths at Six Rivers Market
Six Rivers Market, along with the Sandpoint Business & Events Center, would like to invite a few nonprofits each week to set-up booths to promote their activities at Six Rivers Market delivery days. Their delivery days are Wednesdays, 3:30-6 p.m. at Sandpoint Business & Events Center where members pick-up pre-ordered groceries and mingle with community members. They request each nonprofit interested to create an activity geared towards children and host their Kids' Education Table at least once. For more information, contact manager Vicki Reich at vicki@sixriversmarket.org or visit www.sixriversmarket.org.
