The Trust Company of Tennessee and United Way of Greater Chattanooga have joined forces to promote a three-part spring series for nonprofit professionals. The series will provide area nonprofit leaders with the knowledge they need to establish and cultivate strong financial strategies to power their missions forward, said organizers.

We’ve been building this series out with our friends at United Way, and we’re excited to finally introduce it.”
