Our Team Sponsorship and Advertising Opportunities
The National Council of Nonprofits does not provide direct assistance in starting a nonprofit organization. We recommend you review our resources on how to start a nonprofit and contact your local state association of nonprofits for additional assistance.
No, unfortunately, the National Council of Nonprofits is not a grantmaking organization. The Foundation Center and GrantStation can assist your organization with finding funding opportunities.
No, the National Council of Nonprofits does not serve as a fiscal sponsor. You can view our resources on fiscal sponsorship for more information and visit the website of the National Network of Fiscal Sponsors for additional resources and assistance.
From our 20+ years of experience as the backbone of our state association network, we have learned that a state association of nonprofits needs the initial and ongoing leadership, commitment, and financial support of charitable nonprofits and grantmakers in its own state to flourish. You may want to look to state associations in neighboring states that can provide insights on the process and challenges involved.
The IRS maintains a list called the Exempt Organizations Business Master File. The BMF is free to download and is separated into large Excel files for each state (sometimes multiple files, depending on how many nonprofits are in that state).
