Why do nonprofits need a state association?2024-12-03T20:20:19+00:00

It’s no secret that nonprofit organizations are essential to create vibrant, healthy communities. Nonprofits are also an economic engine. In Kentucky, the nonprofit sector is the Commonwealth’s 4th largest private-sector employer, with 1 in 10 private sector jobs at nonprofits.  As your state association, KNN exists to advance and strengthen our nonprofit sector. KNN provides quality professional development and educational opportunities; a unified voice on public policy issues to protect and advance the sector; resources to help organizations build capacity and implement best practices; and time-saving and money-saving member benefits.

Nonprofits are doing important work, and KNN is here as your state association to help you focus on what you do best – serve your community.
