Program
Today's program was an update from the Estes Nonprofit Network. The Network aims to serve and strengthen the Estes Valley nonprofit industry by providing essential education, resources and collaboration opportunities, fostering a more interconnected nonprofit ecosystem.
Cato Kraft was our speaker and talked about the Network's programs & services as well as their many accomplishments this year.
The Network turned $28K in costs into $347,000 worth of educational programs last year - a 12x multiplier effect of investment in local nonprofits! In 2024 they are projecting over $500K worth of education program value returned to local nonprofits.
Estes Nonprofit Network's National Philanthropy Day event at the YMCA is November 16, 2024.
