Funder Focus: AMD and the AMD Foundation

Funder Focus

AMD and the AMD Foundation partner with strategic, non-profit organizations to advance quality education with an emphasis in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM); environmental sustainability; basic needs and social services; and humanitarian relief. Join us to learn more from our guest: Anne Fertitta, Senior Manager of Global Community Relations at AMD

What do funders look for in a grant proposal: data, stories, both? What kinds of projects do foundations find inspiring? What choices do funders make in support of communities? Join us for Nonprofit Austin at ACC’s Funder Focus to learn more about the funding and grantmaking process. Bring your questions for this exceptional opportunity to connect directly with those who make funding decisions that support nonprofit work.
