Organization description:
Our operations support helps our members grow, save time, and run effectively. Running a nonprofit is incredibly complex. Nonprofit leaders are forced to take on accounting, human resources and the law, which takes them away from what they’re great at, serving their community. Each nonprofit duplicates these administrative efforts, which wastes valuable resources. Our effective, efficient, and equitable administrative support eliminates the duplication of effort and makes it possible for our members to focus on what’s important — the mission.
