Meyer Memorial Trust often provides staff members to represent MMT at nonprofit workshops and conferences, funder panels, development events, etc. In fact, we think it is important that we leave our office and meet the organizations we serve where and when they convene as often as we can.
In the past, groups have usually issued invitations to individual staff members. Because the number of requests we receive continues to grow, and we have added a number of new staff members, we have reached the point where we need to coordinate our requests as a group.
If your organization would like a representative from MMT to talk about our foundation, grantseeking, proposal writing, and/or otherwise contribute to a collective understanding of the world according to MMT, please submit your request by email. Please include the following information in your request: date, location, time starts and ends, format, specific topics you want covered, and the number and make-up of people you expect to attend. In addition, please let us know if this event is open to the public, by invitation only, if there is a fee for attending and what the fee is.
