Following the recent launch of the Northern Kentucky Nonprofit Coalition, members are working to create a more cohesive nonprofit sector in the region.

The coalition, unveiled on April 23, includes 26 nonprofits based in Northern Kentucky. Together, they serve 682,066 people annually and employ 2,270 full-time and 1,918 part-time staff. The network comprises Kentucky Nonprofit Network member organizations. Similar coalitions already exist to serve Louisville, Lexington and southeastern Kentucky.

The member organizations are as follows:

“The founding members of the Northern Kentucky Nonprofit Coalition represent a powerful cross-section of nonprofits serving our region—from health, housing, and workforce to conservation, child development, family services and the arts,” Kentucky Nonprofit Network Director of Regional Advocacy and Engagement Ryan Salzman said of the coalition’s work in a news release. “We’re excited to bring these organizations together to strengthen their efforts and help inform policymakers about the community and economic contributions of nonprofits across our region.”

The goal of the coalition is to ensure the region stays up to date on public policy issues affecting their organizations and the nonprofit sector at the local, state and federal levels. Members will have access to key insights into specific partnerships and funding opportunities and collectively advocate directly with Congress, state legislators and local elected officials.
