Who Gets It Done for Kentucky? Nonprofits Get It Done.
Nonprofits close critical gaps for Kentucky communities. They’re our neighbors delivering urgent — often life-saving — support when government or business can’t. Every day, nonprofits step in, solve problems, and serve local families. Nonprofits Get It Done.
Some policymakers are questioning nonprofit integrity and putting essential funding at risk — funding services and programs that Kentuckians and Kentucky communities rely on. To spotlight the value and impact of charitable nonprofits, KNN is launching the Kentucky Nonprofits Get It Done campaign. As part of a nationwide effort, the Kentucky-specific campaign highlights the nonprofits strengthening the Commonwealth and the real results they deliver.
Nonprofits and nonprofit champions are critical to the success of this campaign!
- Nonprofits: By getting the word out using the toolkit, sharing YOUR organization’s story, participating in the social media campaign, and contacting Congress, your organization helps celebrate the everyday impact your nonprofit and others are making. Help uplift the people and communities you serve and remind Kentuckians and policymakers that when it comes to creating stronger communities, Nonprofits Get It Done.
- Nonprofit champions: Across the country, nonprofits step in where no one else can or will. By sharing posts on social media, contacting Congress, and encouraging others to do so, you are helping to build awareness of the vital work of the nonprofits serving you and your community. We need your voice. Let everyone, including lawmakers know you value the work nonprofits do in our communities. Nonprofits Get It Done.
