Our philanthropic partners and grantees frequently need centrally located meeting space. The Betty Kapetanakis Memorial Conference Room is large enough to handle 75 people. And it is flexible enough for round table discussions, lectures, receptions, or workshops. We have been surprised and gratified at how quickly they have embraced the new space. The conference room can be available for your group, too. Current North Star Fund grantees may use the space free-of-charge. Past grantees are charged a small fee. And the room is available for other groups, with a fee based on the size of the annual budget. For more information, email North Star Fund's facilities manager. So far, more than 30 groups have used the conference room for meetings, workshops, and celebrations. The New York Regional Association of Grantmakers (NYRAG) held a conversation on families and poverty with newly appointed New York State commissioners Carrion, Hansel and Smith. The New York University Wagner School of Public Service used the room to celebrate their new Social Justice Fellows alumni. And Make the Road by Walking and the Latin American Integration Center announced their merger to a room of more than 50 people. |
