ABOUT US
American Nonprofits was formed by a group of nonprofit sector leaders to serve as a platform to address issues of finance, credit, strategy and accountability. We occupy the intersection of finance and nonprofit empowerment. We believe that smaller, often times BIPOC-led, organizations contribute to our communities, yet lack the necessary funding. By providing support to small but mighty organizations, our communities are stronger and healthier.
