Back by popular demand, go "Behind the Curtain" with us again as the Greater Dallas AFP hosts an Online Funders' Forum. Funders from Atmos Energy, JCPenney and The Communities Foundation of Texas will share insights into their funding "cause areas," typical dollar awards and funding schedules. We'll ask for the "secret sauce" - their funding priorities when making tough decisions about awarding program dollars.

This ONLINE meeting was originally scheduled for March 25th and was postponed to June 24th due to COVID-19 restrictions. If you were registered for the March 25th event, your registration will automatically carry over (if you're unable to attend you can request a refund, afpchapteroffice@afpdallas.org).
