2020 Goals

Maine nonprofits are integral to Maine’s economy and quality of life. By strengthening the capacity, connections, and cross-sector influence of these organizations, MANP is playing a key leadership role in helping shape a prosperous future for the state.

To ensure that Maine nonprofits are prepared to contribute, adapt, and thrive in our fast-changing world, MANP is building the capacity of new and existing members, developing and deepening relationships among them, and strengthening the sector’s partnership with the private and public sectors. In 2020, MANP will advance strategic priorities adopted in late 2018 that will guide our work in the years to come:

  • Increase the core capacity of Maine nonprofits to advance their missions.
  • Grow and deepen connections between Maine nonprofits so they realize the benefits of working and learning together.
  • Strengthen relationships among the nonprofit, public and private sectors, so Maine nonprofits are valued as influential and effective partners in addressing the challenges facing Maine.

Fundraising events/Opportunities

Corporate and private donors can help Maine nonprofits gain access to MANP’s professional and leadership development programs by contributing to the MANP Access Fund and BRIDGE Program (through which businesses sponsor their nonprofit clients’ memberships).

Throughout the year, MANP provides opportunities to sponsor events and publications that attract nonprofit, business and governmental leaders statewide, including an annual Nonprofit Finance Conference, Opt In Communications Conference, and semi-annual Executive Leadership Forums. Limited exhibitor space may also be available.

Giving Opportunities

Businesses and individuals may join MANP as a “Friend of MANP” starting at $100 per year or contribute to the MANP Access Fund. MANP’s Friends and Sponsors enjoy valuable marketing exposure and networking opportunities while supporting programs and services that help our state’s mission-focused organizations operate more effectively.

Volunteer Opportunities

Many of MANP’s management and leadership development programs are taught by volunteer content experts from all around the state. MANP is always looking to expand its current roster of subject matter experts to provide training and other resources on topics of interest to nonprofit leaders. In addition, we also appreciate any pro bono assistance from businesses willing to donate their time and expertise in answering nonprofit management questions that come to our Nonprofit Help Desk.
