Duck Pond Application

Thank you for your interest in Nonprofit Village's Duck Pond. So we can establish a good idea of what you and your organization are all about, please respond to the questions below. Depending on how new your idea or your organization is, you might not have a direct answer to all the questions--that is ok! Please just respond as best you can, so our panel is as informed as they can be before they meet you in person.

The Duck Pond takes place on November 20. You must be able to attend, ideally in person, on that date. Please note that submission of this application does not guarantee a place at the Duck Pond. We will communicate with all applicants to confirm whether or not they have been accepted.

Please submit your application by 5 p.m. on Friday, November 8.

If you have any questions about the application or the process in general, please email Tom Colling, Deputy Director at Nonprofit Village (tcolling@thenonprofitvillage.org).
