Nonprofit Assistance

Nonprofit executives know that to build successful organizations they must be passionate about their work and be experts in their field. But in this complex, specialized world, that is not enough. NPO Assist can help.

Nonprofits need to be well managed, well governed and efficient to fulfill their missions. A group of organizations in Chicago — nonprofits themselves — offer training, consulting and other forms of technical assistance in essential skills including financial management, fundraising, media relations, legal services, technology and more. These organizations have come together as NPO Assist, and can help your organization fill in the gaps where additional expertise is needed.
