It was a busy day in Frankfurt, and it was also Nonprofit Day that was celebrated in Frankfurt, as well as advocate.

Advocates for nonprofit organizations rallied at the Capitol to celebrate successes last year and push for legislation to make it easier to fund those charities who help others.

Nonprofits include the American Cancer Society, the American Heart Association, and the Salvation Army, among others.

Advocates say grant and contract reform would mean less red tape and faster delivery of money.

We're trying to streamline this process to say that when you build a country act, you be paid promptly, you will be paying and the paperwork.

We're going to try to streamline that.

We understand that we do not need these nonprofit organizations having to go into their personal finances or go to a bank and try to borrow money to fulfill what we've already granted the money for.

We've granted the money now to streamline the process, to put the money out there.

The government does not.

Function without the partnership of nonprofits.

There are so many services that we are statutorily obligated to provide for Kentuckians that the government itself can not me.

We must rely on a nonprofit to deliver those services to Kentuckians that are in need.

And without them, our government will absolutely fail.

Nonprofits employ more Kentuckians than you might think.

The Kentucky nonprofit network says one out of every ten workers in the private sector work for a nonprofit.
