We offer discounted member registration rates for our Annual Conference and Nonprofit Excellence Awards, as well as priority attendance to our affinity groups and lunch & learns.
We send three exclusive member newsletters each month, providing the latest sector news, policy updates, funding opportunities, and more. Our member portal contains a curated list of Massachusetts grants, our Funding Sources Directory, and a Commonwealth Stats Tool.
Affiliate members can also write posts for our Nonprofit 411 blog, host free webinars, and provide cost savings benefits to help our nonprofit members save money.
As part of our effort to mobilize and strengthen nonprofits in the face of federal threats, we launched two Federal Impacts Surveys in partnership with The Boston Foundation and the MassINC Polling Group. These surveys helped capture the impact of the current administration’s disruptive federal policy actions on nonprofits, and were completed by almost 1,000 nonprofit leaders.
Our members join a growing network of 700+ nonprofit and for-profit businesses across Massachusetts. They can make unlimited free posts to our jobs board and events calendar, placing their organization in front of these and other audiences across the state.
