CNP Survey Comments/Questions
January 5th, 2010
We hope you had a great holiday season! To get back in the swing of things, we'll begin our blog for 2010 by responding to your comments and questions from our CNP Survey that wrapped up towards the end of 2009.
Question: Is there any possibility to get online access to the Foundation Directory?
Answer: Unfortunately, we are unable to provide online access to the Foundation Directory grant research database due to our agreement with the Foundation Center to keep it "within the four walls" of our building. There is a limited search you can do through the Foundation Center's main website, www.foundationcenter.org which provides basic contact information for foundations in your area. This website also has many resources regarding grant writing and nonprofit management include free webinars on a variety of topics.
Comment: When I was job hunting, it seemed like a lot of the job postings stay up after they are filled or are there for a long time after the stated deadline.
Response: Unless an organizations requests that a posting be removed, we typically do not take postings off the website. We have begun listing a closing date at the bottom of the description to help job seekers target employers who are actively seeking candidates. The job descriptions are left on the site to give those looking for a job in the nonprofit sector an idea of the type of positions available in the Chattanooga area.
Comment: In regards to question 11, "Do any of the follow effect whether or not you attend CNP workshops/events or utilize its services?"
- Driving to the CNP for noon events from Bradley County is difficult.
Response: The CNP has partnered with People for Care and
Learning and will be offering training sessions throughout
2010 in Bradley County for Bradley County nonprofits. Topics
and dates will be announced in the coming weeks.
- The cost of parking downtown is insane.
Response: The CNP is able to validate parking for 1/2
day (3hour) and full day workshops if participants park
in a Republic Parking garage or lot that is not prepay
and bring their ticket in with them to be stamped.
There are two garage very close to the CNP/UW building,
one directly behind the UW building on Cherry St
(Hamilton County Courthouse garage) and the other a
block further down Cherry St towards MLK
Ave. (SunTrust garage).
Feel free to comment with any questions/comments regarding CNP programming or suggested topic/speakers! Comments may take several minutes to appear online.
