Community e-Connections

weekly Nonprofit e-Source!

15 Days without Nonprofits?

What would this look like? Beginning on Thanksgiving Day, we will be sharing just what it would look like in our communities without nonprofits providing the valuable services they do every day. Be sure to visit our Facebook, Instagram, or LinkedIn pages to follow the impact. Please share with your friends and family to help us raise awareness for the value of this vital sector to the health and wellbeing of our communities!

Join us as we spotlight the POWER OF TRUE COLLABORATION!

We are pleased to be back in person for our 10th Annual Impact Forum on December 8. Join us as we bring together nonprofit leaders, community leaders, and senior-level decision makers from the public and private sectors to discuss the power of true collaboration in our region.

This year, we will also be celebrating our 15th Anniversary by honoring and recognizing the valuable nonprofits serving the Virginia Peninsula, as well as Community Partners, Board members, and Volunteers from these nonprofits — all of whom help to impact change in our communities.
