National Nonprofit Day wasn’t just a one-day event for us, we turned it into a full week of learning, growth, and connection around our mission! We spent the week investing in our collective impact by attending the inaugural Wichita Nonprofit Summit and the AFP Heartland Professional Development Series, opening our doors for a vibrant Open House, and engaging with our valued nonprofit partners.

"If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together."

Executive Director Lai-L Daugherty shared this African proverb at our 2nd Annual Open House, perfectly capturing the spirit of our past year. Thanks to our amazing community, WMREF is moving our mission forward faster and farther than ever!

Looking Back at Our Impact:
🔹 Community Outreach: We've more than tripled our community reach over the past year.

🔹 $100,000+ Awarded: Distributed in grants, scholarships, and research sponsorships since our inaugural open house in 2025.
