The El Dorado Community Foundation’s popular “Philanthropy On Tap” series is making its return this June, offering two evenings of networking and nonprofit showcases—now with a competitive edge.
This year, the events will feature a panel of undercover judges evaluating nonprofit presentations, with the top-scoring organization receiving a $500 award. Attendees will enjoy brief, impactful presentations from local nonprofits, followed by opportunities to connect over craft beverages and light snacks.
“Philanthropy On Tap is a dynamic way to spotlight the incredible work of our local nonprofits,”
said a representative from the El Dorado Community Foundation.
“By adding a friendly competition, we aim to further engage the community and encourage nonprofits to hone their messaging.”
