CENTER FOR NONPROFIT ADVANCEMENT

Formed in 1979, the Center for Nonprofit Advancement strengthens, promotes, and represents the Greater Washington Region’s nonprofits so they can meet the diverse needs of their communities. As an advocate and service provider, the Center has an extensive support network encompassing nonprofits, businesses, consultants, and government agencies. Trainings, certificate programs, conferences, and forums are designed to build the capacity of nonprofit staff at every level, and in addition, targeted advocacy to local jurisdictions highlights region-wide issues affecting nonprofits and the impact they have on the community at large.

Nonprofits can sign up as members of the Center to receive cost-savings and discounts. The Center’s 1,000 members have access to a wide range of benefits for their organization, including training and technical assistance, high-quality medical and supplemental insurances, discount saving programs, tools and templates, and more.
