Taking time to step back and think about the future is an important part of leading a nonprofit.

Yesterday, we welcomed Becky Pastner and local nonprofit leaders and board members to Center for Families for The Board’s Role in Strategic Planning.

Together, we explored how boards and staff can approach planning with a clearer understanding of their roles and a shared commitment to their mission.

Thank you to Becky for guiding the conversation and to everyone who made time to join us. It was a pleasure to spend the morning with people who care deeply about their organizations and the communities they serve.

We believe making space for learning and connection helps support the good work happening throughout our community. We’re grateful to everyone who was part of this day!

Next week, nonprofit leaders and board members will gather for The Board’s Role in Strategic Planning, led by Becky Pastner.

Good leadership means making time to keep learning, asking better questions, and staying open to new perspectives.

That’s why GHF is committed to creating meaningful opportunities for nonprofit leaders and board members to come together around the challenges that come with leading an organization and serving a community.

Because the work is important. And so are the people leading it.

We look forward to continuing to create space for these conversations.

Is your board moving in the same direction?

Strong strategic planning happens when board members and organizational leaders have a shared understanding of where they’re going and the role each person plays in getting there.

On October 1, join us for The Board’s Role in Strategic Planning, an in-person training led by Becky Pastner.

Becky will guide nonprofit leaders and board members through one of the harder parts of strategic planning: getting clear about who does what, who decides what, and how everyone can contribute without losing sight of the mission.

Strong strategic planning requires more than a great plan. It requires a board that understands its role in moving that plan forward.
Join Georgetown Health Foundation on October 1 for an in-person training led by Becky Pastner focused on the board’s role in strategic planning.

Together, we’ll explore how board members and nonprofit leaders can work more effectively through the planning process, get clearer on roles and responsibilities, and keep the organization grounded in its mission as it looks ahead.

Carver Center for Families�October 1,�9:00 AM–1:00 PM.

Good work takes work.

Make room for a good conversation. Hear a different perspective. Spend time with people asking some of the same questions you are.

We believe those opportunities matter, and we’re looking forward to creating more of them for local nonprofits and their boards.

More to come!

Bridges to Growth at The Georgetown Project creates a warm, supportive community for moms and kids, helping families build connection, confidence, and a strong foundation for the future.

And sometimes, support looks like more than one service or one solution. It looks like a family finding a community that sees them, believes in them, and shows up when they need it most.

That’s what community health looks like.

We're celebrating alongside Georgetown Cultural Citizen Memorial Association (GCCMA) on an incredible milestone. The 2026 Backpack Project didn't just meet its goal of 2,000 backpacks, it exceeded it.

This kind of impact doesn't happen without a community showing up for each other. Volunteers stuffed and organized backpacks, checked in families, directed traffic, carried boxes, greeted every family with a smile, and jumped in wherever they were needed. What stood out wasn't just the work itself, but the spirit behind it: cooperation, patience, laughter, and a true sense of family from start to finish.

And the impact didn't stop at distribution. Backpacks that remained were sent on to other organizations serving families in need, so every single one will still find its way to a child who needs it this school year.

Congratulations to GCCMA and every volunteer who made this possible. This is exactly the kind of community-powered work we're proud to support!
