Celebrate Nonprofits Week:

Celebrate Nonprofits Week began in 2020 - a year when celebration was most definitely needed! The Week is a celebration of nonprofit organizations: the deeply important work they do, the essential role they play in our lives, and the dedicated staff that work diligently to carry out their missions.

The purpose of Celebrate Nonprofits Week is to increase public awareness of the contributions our nonprofits make to our communities—and to provide an opportunity for those organizations to recognize and celebrate their employees. 

As proclaimed by Erie County Executive Kathy Dahlkemper and Mayor Joe Schember (June 22, 2020) the fourth week of June is now known as Celebrate Nonprofits Week - check out the main website at CelebrateNonprofits.org.

The Nonprofit Partnership's offices at The Susan Hirt Hagen Center for Transformational Philanthropy are open Monday through Friday, 8:30 AM - 4:30 PM.
