Rosa Moreno-Mahoney, Associate Director of Service and Volunteerism for the One Star Foundation, and Courtney Suhrs, Senior Strategic Communications Specialist for the One Star Foundation, provided the gathering with important insights about their group and the funding available through AmeriCorps.

"Today, we wanted to make sure people knew about One Star Foundation and the different resources we have available," Moreno-Mahoney said after the session.
"We have four focus areas, and provide different resources and opportunities for non-profits throughout the state."
She said the focus was on AmeriCorps because there is still time to meet an October 14 deadline to apply for money from that national organization.
"For area organizations which think they can make this current deadline, we want to make sure that they know we are available to be a resource to help them think through their program design as they are developing them," Moreno-Mahoney explained.
For others that can't meet the deadline this fall, she added, the work can begin to prepare applications for next year.
Dr. Roland Arriola, Ph.D., the president of the Texas Valley Communities Foundation, said TVCF brought Moreno-Mahoney and Suhrs down to Edinburg because the One Star Foundation represents an untapped resource for the region, especially in the arena of education.

Moreno-Mahoney suggested that local nonprofit organizations can work jointly with TVCF to achieve mutual goals.
"If there is a group of organizations that wants to come together as a collaboration to apply, they would have to identify who would be the legal applicant," Moreno-Mahoney said, noting that TVCF could serve as the administrative arm of such efforts.
"I think they (Texas Valley Communities Foundation) bring a wealth of resources and assets to this community," Moreno-Mahoney added.
