Opening Doors to New Funding Streams

Tuesday, May 23, 2012, 1:00 – 2:00 PM EST
Presented by CFED and NeighborWorks America

Over 130 attendees joined us for a discussion of how two housing organizations, CASA of Oregon and Beyond Housing, have cultivated new funding streams for programs to expand their work into other areas of asset building such as financial education and college savings. Maggie Reilly of CASA of Oregon and a CFED 2010 Innovative Idea Champion, discussed CASA’s partnership with the Oregon Independent College Foundation, specifically how the partnership supports CASA’s Matched Education Savings Account College Initiative. Chris Krehmeyer of Beyond Housing, a NeighborWorks affiliate, discussed funding streams they have tapped into to support their asset building programs and the 24:1 Initiative, a comprehensive community development initiative led by Beyond Housing. Presentations were followed by a Q&A session.

Presenters included:

Maggie Reilly, Program Director, CASA of Oregon
Chris Krehmeyer, President and CEO, Beyond Housing
Rick Haughey, Director of Affordable Housing Initiatives, CFED (moderator)
