Community room description: metta fund recognizes the importance of providing support to the non-profit community beyond grantmaking. As such, the foundation provides its state-of-the-art conference center at no cost to local non-profits, community partners, and key stakeholders. During a normal year, metta fund hosts dozens of community conversations and capacity-building events to help further advance non-profits' mission. To expand meeting room access, in 2020, metta fund intentionally leased new, more centrally located office space with a larger conference room. The new community room can accommodate up to 99 people in various arrangements.
