History

History“Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossible before they were done.”  ~ Louis D. Brandeis

In 2014 the concept of a state association was introduced to nonprofits across Kansas.
Through conversations with different communities, we realized just how void of quality cost-effective training/information was available to many nonprofits. It also was apparent that these nonprofits are often small and could not leave to attend training/education classes. Many were doing the best they could with small budgets and a small staff. They want and need a method to acquire knowledge and additional resource information.

In 2016 state association moved from a concept to developing the association infrastructure.

  • Filed with the State of Kansas and received our FEIN number
  • Seated the Founding board members
  • Developed the structure of the Kansas Nonprofit Centre
  • Bylaws and articles were written
  • Kansas Nonprofit Centre, Inc. was recognized by the IRS and we received our 501c3 status.
  • Partnership with the Oklahoma Center for Nonprofits ( Oklahoma State Association)
  • Seated the first Board of Director members
  • Sent introduction letter to all Kansas nonprofits
