THANK YOU FOR A WILDLY SUCCESSFUL EVENING
NACF’s fundraising gala on September 7 was wildly successful! Lots of chatting, good food and drink plus a very exciting live auction that netted $14,000 to help grow NACF’s endowment. One of the evening’s highlights was the public announcement of a $100,000 donation by Jennifer Turrentine. Click this link to read her moving keynote speech.

Webb Lake Community Club, for the second year in a row, is sponsoring the Know Your Nonprofit Expo set for October 17, 2024. This generous grant from Webb Lake allows NACF to offer table space at the Expo free of charge to our nonprofits!

If you're looking for volunteer opportunities or a chance to help guide a nonprofit, almost all nonprofits need your help. Some need volunteers, some need board members. All need money to support their good works.
