The Nonprofit Support System You've Been Waiting For: Associate Membership Launch

Running a nonprofit organization is tough. It can feel like the world is on your shoulders and you’re doing it all alone. You’re trying to solve a community problem while feeling boxed in by limitations: rising costs, shifting funding, changing policies, limited staff or expertise, and lack of resources. We recognize that the current times are particularly challenging for nonprofits. 

With more nonprofits than ever in the community, we recognized that organizations need a space to learn, share, and connect with each other. We also see how critical it is for small and new nonprofits to have access to best practices, trends, community awareness, and discounted services. 

We factored all of this into our new Associate Membership. Qualified nonprofits can now join an inclusive network and access a suite of transformative benefits. Our resources focus on providing Associate Members with access to best practices and information on marketing, communications, donor development, fundraising, strategy, and collaboration.


For just $175 per year, Associate Members enjoy:

  • Four free professional development sessions
  • Expert nonprofit guidance and peer roundtables
  • Marketing exposure opportunities
  • Discounts on GrantStation, Firespring, and In(form)ed services
  • Networking with local organizations doing meaningful work
  • And more!


We designed this tier at an affordable price to help nonprofits succeed. This access gives small and new nonprofits an advantage in growing into stable, sustainable organizations that can create a greater impact in the community.
