The National Council of Nonprofits (NCN) is the largest nonprofit network in the United States, with 25,000 nonprofit members and 52 state nonprofit network subsidiaries. It engages in public policy work and conducts professional development for nonprofit members, providing nonprofits with research and assets to assist their operations.

History

The National Council of Nonprofits was established in 1990 to create a unified voice for nonprofit organizations across North America. Initially, NCN aimed to connect nonprofits through a national platform focused on advocacy and resource sharing. Over time, NCN expanded its partnerships to include state associations to address region-specific nonprofit challenges, offering a more localized approach to its support and advocacy efforts. Through these expansions, NCN created a federated structure to coordinate national objectives with state-level initiatives, attempting to balance centralized support with local responsiveness.

The organization has a 4-star rating on Charity Navigator.

Leadership

Tim Delaney is the acting CEO of NCN and has served in the role for 16 years. In January 2025, National Low Income Housing Coalition CEO and public sector veteran Diane Yentel will take Delaney's place.

Activities

The National Council of Nonprofits has an integrated three-part approach to its work, aiming to "champion, connect, inform."

It has reported a newsletter subscriber base of 100,000 recipients and claimed a significant role in shaping nonprofits' access to PPP loans during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The network offers various professional development programs, including training and webinars focused on governance, financial management, closure, and compliance. It hosts multiple webinars each year, increasing its revenue through webinar sponsorship fees of up to $10,000. The Federal Reserve and FEMA have sought its support in the past. Its analysis and work has been cited in various prominent publications. NCN's programs are aimed at improving leadership and operational capacity within its partnered organizations.
