About us
An extraordinary community of thriving nonprofits
Engaging over 3,000+ organizations, we’ve been building a powerful nonprofit community for 40 years. We can do more good when we do it together.
Our vision
Nonprofit New York envisions a world where nonprofits have the tools and support they need to be effective, just, and sustainable, and act in solidarity with one another across differences in size, budget, and mission to be a relentless collective force for good.
Our mission
Nonprofit New York champions and strengthens nonprofits through capacity building and advocacy to cultivate a unified, just, and powerful sector.
Our values
- Nonprofits play vital and vibrant roles. Nonprofits drive the economy, creating and sustaining safety nets. They not only build communities but help community members make meaning, facilitate change, and create art together. This fuels local democracy by motivating and facilitating civic engagement.
- Equitable policies and practices are important in the work we do and the way we do the work.
- Nonprofit New York’s work should be accessible. The spaces we gather in, the ways we communicate, and the tools we provide need to be accessible to more people.
- Nonprofit New York must be responsive and resilient. Our work should evolve and adapt as we solicit and integrate feedback from our members through relationship building, collaborative learning spaces, regular evaluations, and community gatherings.
- Creating change requires building solidarity across the nonprofit sector. Working together and advocating collectively across subsectors, missions, and sizes, amplifies the nonprofit voice and enhances our ability to mobilize for change.
Our equity statement
- Centering equity is a condition of success for nonprofits. Focusing on equity makes nonprofits more effective, accountable, and sustainable.
- Consistent accountability is required for enduring change. Like most institutions, nonprofits were shaped by systems based on white supremacy, patriarchy, marginalization, and exclusion. Our shared work toward social change requires awareness, action, and accountability.
- Strengthening and sustaining the nonprofit sector requires reshaping our structures, systems, and approaches in order to ensure power and access are shared. BIPOC-led nonprofits, emerging organizations, and groups serving communities who have been intentionally excluded and marginalized are priority constituencies for us.
Our IMPACT & financials
Strengthening and uniting New York’s nonprofits requires us to have our own house in order first. We’re careful with our funds to keep our own organization moving in the right direction, not just for our benefit, but for yours, too.
