SUMMARY:Neighborhood Investment Program Policy Briefing
DESCRIPTION:Established in 1996\, the Neighborhood Investment Program (NIP) is set to expire on July 1\, 2021.  This program reaches nearly 200 nonprofits statewide and helps to leverage over $6 million annually in charitable donations.   The WVNPA\, Philanthropy West Virginia\, and other partners are asking the legislature to renew and expand the NIP.  This renewal is more important than ever as the nonprofit sector works to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic.  Read more about the NIP on the WVNPA website! \nJoin us for a joint webinar on February 3rd from 4-5 PM to learn more about the issue and how you can help support the NIP renewal.  \nEmail hilaria@dev.wvnpa.org to register. \nSee how the Wade Center was able to use the NIP Gifts during the Pandemic: \nNIP gifts enabled the Wade Center to keep its doors open during a change in administration while schools adjusted to the COVID-19 pandemic. While the elementary school children who attend our after-school program were at home\, the Wade Center staff implemented arrival\, classroom and departure procedures to ensure social distancing according to state guidelines. A grant enabled us to purchase acrylic table dividers for the classroom\, and we were prepared to welcome our students to a safe learning environment. We also doubled the size of our computer lab so that when schools go all-online or virtual\, we open the Wade Center’s computer lab from 9 am to 1 pm for any Mercer County students who lack internet access at home (over 30% of Bluefield households) by appointment. On those days\, we serve snacks and lunch instead of snacks and dinner. The students shared their report cards with us\, and over 92% made the honor roll. We believe that is testament to the work we’re doing at the Wade Center\, and the NIP funds enabled us to get back up and running.
