OUR HISTORY
Since 2013, representatives from many of the area’s nonprofits have come together on a monthly basis, to network and learn about topics relevant and applicable to operating nonprofit organizations. This grassroots organization evolved from an informal concept to the Dan River Nonprofit Network of today with varied support structures in place for nonprofits to strengthen their own operations. Moving forward, the Dan River Nonprofit Network will provide more extensive, comprehensive capacity building opportunities, increased networking and collaboration incentives, and implementation of resourcing services to aid staff, board, and volunteers of the area nonprofits.
