Rural Recreation Training
When: October 23, 2008
Where: Indiana State University, Hulman Memorial Student
Union
On October 23, 2008, the Indiana Rural Recreation Development Project
(InRRDP) at Indiana State University is hosting the 2nd Indiana Rural
Recreation Development Training. This year's training will focus on
establishing nonprofit fundraising organizations and establishing
accounts with local community foundations for rural public recreation
departments and park boards.
The goal of this year's training is to assist 10-12 communities in
actually writing their governing documents and completing their
incorporation paperwork to establish a nonprofit park and recreation
fundraising organization, such as a "Friends of Littlesleepytown Parks
and Recreation." Communities that are interested in participating will
be required to send a minimum of two (preferably three) community
leaders to the training. Also, registrants will have some "homework"
prior to the training, so that communities that participate in the
training can fully take advantage of the legal expertise of IU's
nonprofit law students. The training will be informational for the
first hour or two, and then will be a hands-on small group workshop
where communities will work closely with an IU law student to set-up
their organizations.
The InRRDP is proud of our new partnership with the Indiana University
School of Law's Nonprofit Law Clinic. Dr. Nathan A. Schaumleffel,
Director of InRRDP, and Cindy Lott, Director of the IU Nonprofit Law
clinic are collaborating to provide an important capacity building
service for rural Indiana communities.
