Inside & Out: Kristin Todd, NoCo Foundation (Colorado)
<p>Community foundations are a different kind of animal in the nonprofit world. Our mission is to generate more support for the missions of the other nonprofits in our community, and our ability to do so is built on our internal operations. The connection between operations and effectiveness is the focus of our Inside & Out series.</p><br><p>This week Josh welcomes Kristin Todd, President and CEO of the NoCo Foundation in Fort Collins, Colorado. She discusses her path from private foundations to the community foundation, how her belief that "relationships drive results" motivated a staffing update that doubled annual grantmaking, and the way that talking about our work can actually enhance our ability to do the work. </p><br><p>Give Better Get Better is presented by Embolden, serving community foundations of all sizes across the country since 1998.

Inside & Out: Brie Griset Smith, Inland Empire (CA) and Will Schrepferman, DonorAtlas
<p>Community foundations are unique organizations that can be hard to explain. However, like most nonprofits, we spend money on people and tools to pursue our mission in the community.
