Q: Who can be an affiliate member?
A: We welcome any business that provides services or products to Massachusetts nonprofit organizations. The business does not need to be located in Massachusetts. Nonprofit organizations that would like to access these benefits can opt to sign-on as a Standard, Advantage, or Premium member, rather than a nonprofit member.
Q: What if I want to upgrade to Advantage or Premium affiliate membership before my membership is up for renewal?
A: That’s great! If you update and renew your membership early, your membership will be extended for a year from your current end date, and you’ll be able to access all of the expanded benefits right away.
Q: How does the Business Directory work?
A: Our popular online directory is visited by hundreds of nonprofit and business professionals each month. Standard affiliates will be listed in one directory category of their choice. Advantage and Premium affiliates have the option to be listed in multiple categories. In addition, Premium affiliates are the featured vendor(s) for a single directory category. MNN is not able to endorse affiliate members at this time.
