This summit will help them navigate fundraising, volunteer engagement, and new approaches to sustainability in a time of crisis. I am thankful for the commitment by Murray State University as well as the partnership with the Community Foundation of West Kentucky in ensuring local nonprofits are able to meet the needs of our communities."
