NetworkPeninsula is pleased to learn that we have received funding from Community Knights that will enable us to waive the membership fees for our nonprofits whose registration renewal was due during the months of March and April, and some of May. We know budgets are overstretched right now and we don't want to add to that burden. However, while we are committed to keeping annual membership rates low, they still represent a significant revenue stream for us that enables us to continue our work to help local nonprofits. We are grateful to Community Knights for helping us to ease their burden during this time.

If you are able to support this fund that provides grants to local nonprofits, click here .

Additional funds are being coordinated by United Way of the Virginia Peninsula and the Williamsburg Community Foundation .

YES, e vents! - We love to see how our nonprofits have adapted and pivoted throughout this pandemic. We hope you will continue to support them as you are able!
