North Carolina Center for Nonprofits
The NC Center for Nonprofits (North Carolina’s statewide nonprofit association) has been involved with NCGives in various capacities over the years, from the Center’s “Nonprofit Awareness Month” initiative to their annual statewide conference.
Founded in 1990, the N.C. Center for Nonprofits is a private, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that serves as a statewide network for nonprofit board and staff members, an information center on effective organizational practices, and an advocate for the nonprofit sector as a whole. The Center offers services directly to all sizes and types of 501(c)(3) nonprofits and works closely with other local, state and national groups that assist nonprofits.
Concerned about the increasing challenges they faced, more than 2,000 nonprofit leaders from all 100 counties gave grassroots input to determine the Center’s goals. Now, 1,500 organizations participate in this coalition of nonprofits working together for a better North Carolina, and they provide continuous input on emerging issues and needs.
