Coronado, CA – On June 10, 2025, the Friends of the Coronado Library collaborated with the Coronado Community Foundation (CCF) to successfully host the second Nonprofit Roundtable.

The roundtable focused on critical themes including building membership, expanding donor bases, and enhancing community engagement among nonprofits. Participants shared insights on effective strategies to engage the community and maximize the impact of their organizations.
Participants highlighted the significance of engaging younger voices in leadership roles. Experts noted that getting younger individuals involved can introduce fresh perspectives and ideas that are essential for the evolution of nonprofit efforts within Coronado. Additionally, it was discussed that social networking events have proven to be a successful avenue, with some members reporting that attendance at such events is three times higher than traditional workshops.
Furthermore, representatives from the Coronado Schools Foundation underscored the importance of personal outreach to potential volunteers, particularly young families. Engaging this demographic can create a more diverse and committed volunteer base, which is vital for the sustainability of local nonprofit initiatives.
Another organizational highlight from the event was the discussion led by representatives from Safe Harbor and Emerald Keepers regarding a successful intern program with Coronado High School. This initiative provides students with practical work experience while supporting local nonprofit staff, thereby benefiting both the young interns and the organizations.
In line with fostering development within the nonprofit sector, the CCF Founder and Board President presented valuable insights about the revised 2025 grant process from the City of Coronado. This process has nearly $1 million in funds available for distribution through various grants, serving as a pivotal resource for local nonprofits looking to enhance their programs and reach.
Looking ahead, future Nonprofit Roundtables will address emerging topics such as integrating artificial intelligence into nonprofit operations and developing effective social media strategies for the year 2026. These discussions aim to equip local organizations with the necessary tools to adapt to an ever-changing environment and improve their outreach efforts.
The Friends of the Coronado Public Library, an active participant in this roundtable, highlighted their commitment to supporting library programs through fundraising efforts, contributing over sixty thousand dollars annually.
