Murray State University’s Nonprofit Resource Center is hosting its inaugural Philanthropy Week next week to celebrate local nonprofits.
The week of programming is billed as a “celebration of giving” in the Murray-Calloway County region. The week will feature virtual events designed to engage community members with the nonprofit sector.
Murray State Nonprofit Leadership Studies Instructor Mike Gowen is the coordinator of the series. He said Philanthropy Week is an opportunity for the university to educate the community on service opportunities in the region.
“We felt it was time to celebrate all the philanthropy that goes on in this community, that it was part of our role as a program to recognize the entities in the community that help us be successful,” Gowen said.
