What We Do for Nonprofits


When we say The Nonprofit Center is in the business of nonprofits, what does that mean for you?

  • The vast depth of knowledge and services needed for building organizational effectiveness, based on nearly 40 years of experience
  • An integrated, comprehensive approach to nonprofit operations,  management and governance
  • The combined wisdom of a varied team of experts providing education, training and consulting on your issues
  • An understanding of the culture that can’t be learned or taught, but has to be experienced.  As a nonprofit ourselves, we share a distinct connection to the values and realities that is the nonprofit sector
  • And ultimately it means transformation into the organization you want to be, with the bandwidth you need to function effectively, with The Nonprofit Center offering services, expertise and support through every stage of the process.
You are a wealth of great information and guidance to us.  Your nonprofit experience and the relationships you have cultivated over the years is what makes The Nonprofit Center so amazing.”

-Diane Reott, Executive Director, PA Branch of the International Dyslexia AssociationWe didn’t just decide that there was profit to be made in the nonprofit sector, as many recent arrivals have.  We have always been part of the sector, with similar challenges, demands and motivations.  We speak your language because it’s our language too.
