CVNA History

Over the last decade a collaborative group of philanthropic/non-profit leaders considered how non-profits and our community could continue to thrive if we were to work together more intentionally and systematically.

 

To that end, several organizations organized this network for local non-profits. In 2011, we started a website and began distributing an e-newsletter. Today, we are continuing their original vision to encourage growth of non-profit executives, organizations, and the sector as a whole.
