Alliance Membership Benefits
The following information about alliance benefits was provided by the Morgan Hill Community Foundation.
The Morgan Hill Community Foundation is proud of the alliance program that we offer to our members. The unique set of membership benefits are outlined below. This aliance program provides services to our members so they can more effectively focus on their mission.
Although many of our alliance members have 501c3 non-profit status, such status is not required to be an alliance member. Organizations which wish to take advantage of 501c3 status and meet the criteria for alliance membership can come under the umbrella of the Morgan Hill Community Foundation. Membership is approved by the MHCF board of directors and is renewed annually.
