Incorporated in 1990, Michigan Nonprofit Association is a statewide membership organization that achieves its mission by serving the diverse nonprofit sector in three primary ways:

• Capacity-building: Providing nonprofits with training, connections, technology, data, funds and other resources to be more effective and efficient.
• Public policy: Advocating for laws and regulations that allow nonprofits to serve the needs of their communities.
• Civic engagement: Using volunteerism, service and philanthropy education to create thriving communities.

MNA takes great pride in its long history as a leader, an advocate and a support-system for nonprofit organizations throughout the state.

MNA has impacted Arts & Scraps through educational and networking opportunities.  We have improved our organizational and tech capacity and have served a greater number of organizations and children thanks to MNA contacts.  We also believe it is important to contribute to the betterment of the sector.
