Our Vision & Mission

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.

MISSION

  • Nonprofit New York champions and strengthens nonprofits through capacity building and advocacy to cultivate a unified, just, and powerful sector.

THEORY OF CHANGE

To realize our vision, Nonprofit New York must anchor all internal operations and external programs in our values, and:

STRENGTHEN NONPROFIT NEW YORK

Nonprofit New York needs to grow our revenue streams, expand our membership, strengthen our staff capacity, enhance the technology tools we use to interact with stakeholders, and foster a workplace culture based on the values of diversity, equity and inclusion.

BUILD NONPROFIT CAPACITY

Nonprofit New York needs to provide high-quality capacity building and educational programming to nonprofit organizations, connect nonprofit organizations to information, resources, partners, and expertise that enhance their governance, operations, and programming, and be the go-to source for information about trends and policies impacting nonprofits’ day-to-day functioning.

BRING NONPROFITS TOGETHER

At the same time, Nonprofit New York needs to bring nonprofits together across sector, mission and size to advocate collectively for the support, recognition and respect nonprofits deserve and heighten the sector’s ability to influence decisions that impact the communities and individuals we serve and employ.
