The Impact of Your Gift

After moving to Philadelphia, Sean began visiting the Parkway Central Library’s Regional Foundation Center to research nonprofit careers. RFC staff assisted Sean’s research into local positions and potential employers, helping him determine if certain nonprofit organizations were a good fit for him. Sean’s research and the staff’s assistance paid off—Sean recently found a wonderful job.
