Susan Copeland, Polk County Education Foundation executive director, has used Qgiv\u2019s fundraising tools for the last 14 years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat initially drew us to Qgiv was the local connection\u2014we wanted to work with a company that was part of our community. Over the years as Qgiv has grown from a small tech start-up to a business aiding thousands of nonprofits across the country, we\u2019ve never felt forgotten or like less of a priority,\u201d said Copeland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Consortium\u2019s members represent a diverse group of education foundations and fundraising initiatives that Qgiv\u2019s software has the flexibility to serve. Consortium members using Qgiv will have access to a full suite of online and in-person fundraising tools, specialized support, and discounted pricing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Consortium\u2019s mission is to support local education foundations so they can close opportunity gaps and ensure educational success for all students throughout Florida,\u201d said Mary Chance, Consortium President. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We are always interested in sharing vetted solutions that can help them streamline their fundraising efforts and help them be more effective and efficient in their operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To learn more about the partnership, read our full press release below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons aligncenter is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-qgiv-green-background-color has-text-color has-background\" href=\"http:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/news-release\/2021\/05\/04\/2222340\/0\/en\/The-Consortium-of-Florida-Education-Foundations-Announces-Partnership-with-Qgiv-Digital-Fundraising-Platform.html\" style=\"color:#ffffff\">Read the Press Release<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Consortium of Florida Education Foundations (the Consortium) and Qgiv are partnering together to help education foundations throughout the state of Florida!
