Greater San Antonio continues to be one of the fastest growing communities in the country and we’d all like to think that is a net-positive for everyone. However, all with that growth comes an even faster growing demand for the kinds of services that only well-run nonprofits can provide.

Critical services, provided by nonprofit organizations, are often the only “safety net” or option available for a growing number of people in our developing region. While local business leaders and philanthropists continue their impressive records of giving and supporting hometown charities, more support is needed to enhance the quality of nonprofit boards so the agencies they govern can become more effective. That’s where the Masters Leadership Program needs your help.

We know there is a finite limit to the amount of charity dollars available in the community. As a result, many companies have narrowed the focus of their philanthropy to only agencies involved with a specific cause, i.e., education, family strengthening, health, cultural.  While that has been good for the balance sheets of some nonprofit agencies, it does nothing to strengthen the nonprofit boards that run those charities. On the other hand, using some of your philanthropic or marketing dollars to become a Community Investment Partner or Class Day Sponsor for MLP will help give hundreds of nonprofit agencies access to skilled, passionate and knowledgeable board members. Better boards deliver more and better services, regardless of the type of nonprofit agency. Consider becoming an MLP Community Investment Partner or an MLP Class Day Sponsor today.
