Knox County Foundation is thrilled to host the Knox Network of Nonprofits! Open to all nonprofit staff, board members, and individuals interested in the nonprofit sector, the network will meet regularly to discuss topics that impact nonprofit organizations.
Registration is open for the following upcoming meetings:
Wednesday, March 18, 2026: Nonprofit Storytelling
2:00 pm – 3:30 pm
Knox Memorial Ballroom (112 East High Street, Mount Vernon)
Update: This meeting has been postponed. We plan to revisit the Nonprofit Storytelling topic at our first KNN meeting this fall.
Compelling stories are at the heart of effective nonprofit work. This meeting will focus on how to tell your organization’s story in a way that resonates with donors, volunteers, and the broader community. Learn practical tips for identifying, shaping, and sharing stories that highlight impact and inspire action.
Join us as we hear from local nonprofits who understand the art of storytelling to show the community the good work they are doing.
Thursday, May 14, 2026: Donor Acquisition & Retention
2:00 pm – 4:00 pm

Attracting donors is important—and keeping them is essential. This session will explore strategies for building strong, lasting relationships with supporters, from thoughtful communication to meaningful stewardship. You will gain practical ideas you can apply right away to strengthen donor loyalty and long-term sustainability.
