Who We Are

Our Mission:  The Nonprofit Network's Mission is to Strengthen Nonprofit Governance and Management. 

 

Our History

The Nonprofit Network began as a direct result of the expressed needs and desires of Jackson's nonprofits. Since the Nonprofit Network opened its doors in 1999, under the name Jackson Nonprofit Support Center, it has acted as a community collaborator and point of coordination for gathering and disseminating information pertinent to nonprofits. The Nonprofit Network further assists the nonprofit community through providing specialized management and governance services.
