About Us
Our Mission
Nonprofit Net advances the Greater Boston nonprofit community through free expert-led management seminars and networking forums. Our programming supports local nonprofit teams in building expertise and fostering valuable connections.
We understand that most nonprofits have limited budgets and management teams that must wear many hats. By making it easy to connect with each other and with industry experts, we enable organizations to tap into the knowledge of the broader community and help each other succeed.
Nonprofit Net provides resources for a wide-range of nonprofits in the Greater Boston area, with a focus on small to mid-sized organizations.
