  • June President's Message

    By: PA, Western AFP Portal Account PA, Western AFP Portal Account , 8 months ago
    Our neighbors to the north at Erie's Nonprofit Partnership celebrated Nonprofits Week last week.Celebrate Nonprofits Week is an initiative of The Nonprofit Partnership, a membership-based 501(c)3 organization that seeks to advance the nonprofit sector by promoting best practices, fostering connections, and celebrating excellence. 

    Nonprofits are everywhere - where you live, work, travel, vacation, eat, pray and play. Nonprofits serve children, the homeless and hungry, animals, the arts, LGBTQ+, historical sites, natural resources and so much more. I personally think we should celebrate the work of nonprofits everyday - we do some really great work!!  Let's continue to celebrate the deeply important work we do, the essential role we play in people's lives, and the dedicated staff that work diligently to carry out their organizations missions each and every day.

    That being said, nominations for National Philanthropy day are due June 30th. I hope you will consider nominating an individual, business or organization for one of these prestigious awards. 

    As always, if I can assist you in any way, please reach out to me directly at president@afpwpa.org. 

    Have a great summer.

    Sincerely,


    Jodie Tabano
    President, AFP Western PA
