- North County Community Network – <\/strong>Non-Profit networking meetings on a regular basis started up again in 2018.\u00a0 They are informal, round table discussions where agencies and organizations network to share information, accomplishments, events and needs to help each other carry out their various missions.\u00a0 Currently they are held on Zoom every other month.\u00a0 The next meeting is scheduled for June 9, 2021 at 10am.\u00a0 Contact Fulcrum <\/a>to get yourself on that list. There are always helpful and important serendipitous connections made. After the topic of diversity came up at a meeting in 2019, we organized a two-session training led by Emily Fanjoy from Tides of Change (formerly Women’s Crisis Center). After meeting The Bear Den<\/a> organizers in their very first weeks, we offered them fiscal sponsorship under our 501c3 status. We modeled our meetings on the central Tillamook County monthly Social Directors meetings.\u00a0 One of its organizers, Mis Carlton-Swanson from the Oregon Food Bank, wanted to extend this format to North and South County and with the help of Laura Swanson and Barbara McLaughlin held a meeting on Feb 21st<\/sup>, 2018 at the Handy Creek Bakery in Wheeler on a closed day.\u00a0 35 people crowded together to share about their work. Besides local and county wide nonprofits, members from several area churches and cities attended, as did Jessi Just from CARTM who serendipitously was just coming to get breakfast.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

- Local Non-Profit Collaboration Project <\/a>–\u00a0\u00a02015-1016<\/a><\/strong> –\u00a0Barbara McLaughlin (Fulcrum President) and Lane deMoll (Fulcrum Secretary)\u00a0emerged from a March 2015 meeting ready to organize an on-going Fulcrum program for networking local non-profits. It took a while and some wonderful serendipity (of course!) but in Fall\u00a02015, Oregon Community Foundation offered\u00a0Fulcrum a $3000\u00a0challenge grant. In the next month we raised\u00a0$3115 – \u00a014 local non-profits gave $1275 and 20 individual supporters of the BBQ list donated $1840.<\/strong> The $6000 was\u00a0used to pay Barbara McLaughlin and Lane deMoll \u00a0to coordinate and inspire a series of gatherings over the next 9-12 months as well as to pay for venues, food and other project costs. It was a great year of meetings and new connections. See our project summary<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
