The Central Kansas Nonprofit Network, a taskforce of Central Kansas Partnership, will hold its quarterly meeting from 8 to 11 a.m. on Wednesday, April 22, at Barton Community College, Room F-30. The event will feature a networking social followed by a collaborative meeting focused on building stronger connections among nonprofit organizations across the region.

All nonprofit leaders, staff, and community partners are invited to attend this important gathering as the taskforce continues developing a framework for collaboration, resource sharing, and collective impact.

“We’re building a grassroots alliance that operates on the principle that collaboration builds stronger communities,” said Ashley Hickman, CKNN committee member. “This taskforce will focus on exploring service overlaps and identifying opportunities to work together so we can stretch community dollars and maximize impact for those we serve.”

The morning will begin with a networking social from 8 to 9 a.m., offering nonprofit professionals the chance to connect over coffee and refreshments. The formal meeting from 9 to 11 a.m. will explore collaboration opportunities, discuss shared challenges, and continue shaping the network’s mission and vision.

With hundreds of years of combined nonprofit experience represented among its members, the Central Kansas Nonprofit Network aims to reduce service duplication, improve access to resources, and foster open communication across the nonprofit sector.
