ONTRACK Accepts Sierra Health Foundation's Invitation to Join NIC It gives us great pleasure to announce that ONTRACK has accepted the Sierra Health Foundation's invitation to join its recently-formed Nonprofit Innovation Center (NIC). ONTRACK relocated to the NIC's beautifully remodeled space and joined seven other nonprofit organizations in the honor of being 'inaugural' tenants. The NIC is located on the first and second floors of 1331 Garden Highway and is a five-year shared space pilot project. For more information visit http://www.sierrahealth.org/doc.aspx?139. *** |

UPDATE (August 2009): The California Department of Public Health--Office of AIDS recently cancelled its contract for HIV/AIDS prevention and capacity building services in African American communities due to severe budget cuts. The website (http://www.oneloveca.org) remains an available resource for now as ONTRACK continues to search out funding from other sources to address the gap in services created by this year's state budget. *** |
