The Economic Crisis – Centralized Information Resources for Funders and Nonprofits
As the leading organization for funders and nonprofits in Massachusetts and New Hampshire, AGM remains committed to providing you as much information, in useful formats, as we can. In the coming months, we will continually update our website with breaking news and information as it is generated. We will highlight key policy and news developments, and also provide links to resources and innovative ideas for both funders and nonprofits. If you have a resource you would like to share with us, please contact Gail Pinkham at gpinkham@agmconnect.org.
