Exclusively For Local Nonprofits
You’ll have access to all of the features listed above, PLUS:
- PRIVATE FORUMS: Participate in a private local-only forum. This is a virtual meeting place that is only available to members who have been confirmed as representatives of registered nonprofits within the community. Here, you can share best practices, discuss local concerns, and network easily with your peers and colleagues.
- POST UPCOMING EVENTS: Post your upcoming nonprofit events and check the calendar for scheduling conflicts on the community calendar.
- COMPARISON SHOP: We make it easy for you to purchase services by filling out a simple online project form. Do you have an upcoming print run? Do you need to hire a new website designer? Are you in the market for a new auditing firm? These are just a few examples of the kinds of projects you can post. We’ll send your request to businesses that are listed in your community and they can respond directly to you with a quote. Invite everyone in your organization to join and use this service and you’ll soon see some real expense savings!
For Businesses, Consultants and Service Providers
- GET CONNECTED: Whether you're a sole proprietor, small business, or a corporation that provides services in the community, this is your place to get connected with local nonprofits that need your help.
- GET NEW BUSINESS: Our nonprofit members use our search tools to find you and also post projects online that are automatically sent to your email inbox, allowing you to bid for their work. (emailed project requests are a feature of paid listings only).
- FREE BASIC LISTINGS: Basic directory listings are free. For as little as $3.95 per month, you can also become a Featured Partner or a Community Sponsor, be listed prominently in our local directory, and receive project notification emails that will allow you to bid directly on nonprofit business.
