FLEMING ISLAND, Florida, October 20, 2026 - The Paul & Klare Reinhold Foundation today celebrated the 20th anniversary of its “Nonprofit Leadership Development and Capacity Building Training Programs” during the Foundation's annual “Nonprofit Leadership Breakfast” at the Thrasher-Horne Conference Center in Orange Park.
Since 2006, the Reinhold Foundation has invested in educational programs designed to strengthen the leadership and capacity of nonprofit organizations serving Clay County. More than 100 charitable organizations have participated in the Foundation's training opportunities developed and taught by Rollins College's Edyth Bush Institute for Philanthropy & Nonprofit Leadership, and capacity building for nonprofits serving Clay County offered in partnership with the Nonprofit Center of Northeast Florida.
This year's anniversary breakfast brought together more than 150 nonprofit leaders for “AI for Nonprofits: Real-World Solutions That Increase Impact,” presented by Brian Knight, Founder and CEO of Pragmatic Works. The program explored practical ways nonprofit organizations can use artificial intelligence to support their work and increase their community impact.
“As we celebrate 20 years of nonprofit leadership and capacity-building programs, we are especially grateful for the dedicated organizations and individuals whose work improves the lives of Clay County residents,” said J.F. Bryan IV, Chairman of the Paul & Klare Reinhold Foundation. “We are proud to support their continued growth and provide opportunities that help strengthen the nonprofit sector throughout our community.”
The Foundation also announced its 2027 “Nonprofit Leadership Development and Capacity Building Training Programs.” Any 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that provides services to Clay County residents is eligible to apply. The Foundation underwrites the full cost of training; thus, selected organizations will have no tuition expenses. Classes will be held in person in Clay County and developed and taught by Rollins College's Edyth Bush Institute for Philanthropy & Nonprofit Leadership.
The 2027 schedule includes training in nonprofit finance and strategy, marketing, strategic planning, fundraising, artificial intelligence, storytelling, planned giving, grant writing and management, organizational metrics, and middle management. Three workshops designed specifically for nonprofit board members, CEOs, and executive directors will address board governance, culture, strategic leadership, and policy.
Programs will be offered between January 6 and March 31, 2027. A complete schedule, program descriptions, and application information are available at www.reinhold.net. Applications must be submitted no later than Tuesday, November 17, 2026.
