As we close out this year, we want to say THANK YOU for your support of our nonprofits this year! Whether it was serving on a Board, making a donation, responding to a volunteer need, providing items needed, or attending a special event, your support was critical to enabling our nonprofits to continue the valuable work they do in our communities, especially this year.
We are particularly grateful to our Partners for their continued support of NetworkPeninsula and our programs. Thanks to them, we pivoted but we did not stop! Like everyone, we were faced with a challenge of how to continue to offer needed programs and services while also following restrictions to ensure the health and safety of all.
Our in-person workshops became webinars. Our coffees went virtual but were equally valuable. Our typical distribution of office supplies and computers turned into critical distribution of masks, gloves, hand sanitizer, and cleaning supplies!

$10,000! - last, but certainly not least, we secured a grant from Cox Charities that will enable us to waive ALL nonprofit memberships for 2021! Earlier this year, we received support from Community Knights that enabled us to waive 2020 memberships for 25 nonprofits.
