Governor Stitt and Oklahoma Center for Nonprofits 
Announce December as Oklahoma Nonprofit Month

OKLAHOMA CITY - Governor Kevin Stitt today proclaimed December as Oklahoma Nonprofit Month. In December, nonprofits and philanthropists from throughout the state will celebrate the work of charitable organizations along with the donors and volunteers who help provide the resources to change communities.

Marnie Taylor, president and CEO of the Oklahoma Center for Nonprofits, thanked the Governor for the proclamation. 

"This year especially, we know the power of the nonprofit sector," Taylor said. "Our organizations have come together in a huge way to enhance, change and save the lives of Oklahomans. This year has been very challenging, but our nonprofits not only met those challenges but have been innovative and resilient despite the Pandemic."

"Our state cannot succeed without strong community partners," said Gov. Stitt. "Oklahoma’s nonprofits work tirelessly every day to positively impact our communities and improve the lives of Oklahomans. I am proud to declare December Oklahoma Nonprofit Month as we recognize the organizations that selflessly serve the most vulnerable populations in our state." 

Taylor says she hopes to celebrate nonprofit month in December going forward. She noted this was traditionally the month of giving and hoped the extra focus on nonprofits would spur giving and volunteerism.

"We are wired to give in the month of December," Taylor said. "This year is no different. I'm thankful to individuals, foundations and corporations who have made giving such a big priority for Oklahoma."

The Oklahoma Center for Nonprofits will feature 31 nonprofit members throughout December to celebrate the great work of the sector.
