Guest Speaker


The presenter that I am writing about is Karisa from the Providence Public Library (PPL) and she talked about fundraising for different nonprofit organizations. She shared her knowledge with us by a power point and talking about the different foundation and fundraisers that the library holds. She talked about the adult programs and youth programs that they provide at the PPL. I think after learning about fundraising in class it was helpful to me to see a real life example of a nonprofit funding there programs. She also made a point with the fish activity she did with us as well and how many people in a room know a little about something and when they put their knowledge together they can be a big success. She brought experiences to our class and how she made programs work and she also talked about how the library is also connected to many different organizations. It is just not one Organization that is helping the community it is many and they are working together to provide opportunities all across providence. Having people come in from nonprofits and talk to our class was beneficial to me because seeing real life examples helps me learn. I think her examples and different adult programs was something that stuck out to me and what she taught and how she presented the material was great. The PPL has a lot of programs that help the communities around providence and they can provide these programs because of the fundraising that they do.
