Nonprofit Day at the Capitol
Thursday, January 28, 2027 | West Virginia State Capitol
Join the West Virginia Nonprofit Association (WVNPA) for Nonprofit Day at the Capitol on Thursday, January 28, 2027!
This special day brings together nonprofit organizations and leaders from across West Virginia to connect with fellow nonprofit professionals, engage with state legislators, and raise awareness of the vital role nonprofits play in strengthening our communities.
Whether you’re interested in building relationships with legislators, sharing your organization’s story, or connecting with other nonprofit leaders, Nonprofit Day at the Capitol is an opportunity to make your voice heard!
NEW THIS YEAR: Nonprofit Tabling & Legislative Go-Sees!
We’re introducing two opportunities to help nonprofits showcase their work and connect with legislators.
Nonprofit Tabling: Put Your Mission on Display!
WVNPA members are invited to reserve a table at the Capitol to showcase their organization’s mission, programs, and impact.
Think of it as an exhibitor opportunity! Tables provide a space to display materials, share information, and connect with legislators and fellow attendees about the difference your organization makes in West Virginia communities.
Tabling opportunities are available exclusively to WVNPA members.
Lights, Camera, Advocacy: It’s Go-See Time!
We’re bringing a little reality-TV inspiration to Nonprofit Day at the Capitol!
Legislative Go-Sees give nonprofits an opportunity to meet with legislators, introduce their organizations, share what makes their work unique, and demonstrate the difference they’re making in West Virginia communities.
Think of it as your organization’s chance to make a great first impression, share your story, and show legislators why your work matters!
Come prepared to talk about:
- Who you are: Introduce your organization and explain what you do.
- Who you serve: Share the communities and people who benefit from your work.
- Your impact: Highlight the difference your organization is making across West Virginia.
- What matters: Share what legislators should know about the needs, challenges, and opportunities facing your organization and the people you serve.
Your mission is your story. The Go-Sees are your opportunity to tell it!
