Better Together - A Spotlight on the Maine Association of Nonprofits
Endorsing the UST program since 2002, the Maine Association of Nonprofits was founded in 1994 as a member organization dedicated to enriching the quality of the nonprofit community in the state of Maine. By advocating for and on behalf of the nonprofit sector in the state, providing guidance on best practices and offering management training, research and assessment tools as well as cost-saving programs, MANP allows nonprofits to run much more effectively and efficiently.
The organization also connects leaders in the community in an effort to build relationships that enable these organizations to grow together and form a united front on critical issues that may arise. They work to build the capacity of the sector to develop their existing and emerging leaders.
Just a few of the services and tools you can expect to find through the Maine Association of Nonprofits include:
- Professional Development Programs & Educational Resources
- Nonprofit Job Board, Networks & Coalitions
- Voter Engagement & Advocacy Support
- The Answer Center & Assessment Tools
- Assistance with Starting or Dissolving a Nonprofit
- Intensive Programs & Executive Transition and Succession Planning
MANP recently launched a member survey and when they asked members “If you were describing to someone why your organization is a member of MANP, what would you say?” Responses included comments like “MANP has proven to be the best advocate and resource for nonprofits in general in the state of Maine.” and “MANP provides essential resources for nonprofits to be more successful, administratively, publicly, internally and externally.”
Maine Association of Nonprofits continually works to improve the communities throughout Maine by providing the framework and resources needed to help organizations be successful. For more information on the Maine Association of Nonprofits visit www.nonprofitmaine.org.
