Maine Association of Nonprofits

The Maine Association of Nonprofits (MANP) enriches Maine communities by empowering people with purpose—people and organizations at the forefront of the issues and opportunities that will determine Maine’s future prosperity. As a leading advocate and resource, MANP ensures that Maine nonprofits are adapting, thriving, and contributing in a fast-changing world.

“MANP takes a load off our shoulders in a variety of ways. Our annual dues is money well spent and we consider MANP a vital partner in our ability to advance our mission and implement our programs.”  

Since 1994, MANP has been a comprehensive resource for the tools, knowledge, and connections Maine nonprofits need to be effective and well-run. MANP’s value to the community is reflected in its ever-growing statewide membership of over 940 nonprofit organizations and 165 partners in government, business and philanthropy because, in one member’s words, “MANP is a vital partner in our ability to advance our mission, one of the most effective organizations in the state and is the best advocate for the sector.”

MANP is building a collaborative and influential nonprofit sector in Maine by weaving new and deeper connections among nonprofits; forging partnerships across the nonprofit, business, government and philanthropic sectors; and providing leadership as a vocal advocate for the unique value nonprofits offer to Maine.
