Philanthropy

We all know that many hands make light work. Imagine what we can do with +4,000. 

Join the NACURH Annual Conference team as we take on the most impactful and ambitious philanthropy project ever taken on at a conference!

Taking On Food Insecurity

According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), nearly 41 million people in the United States live in food-insecure households-- and 13 million are children. This is a problem across our country, and in our own backyard here in Dayton, OH.
