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. MANP advances strategic priorities that guide our work in the years to come:

  • No. 1: Increase the core capacity of Maine nonprofits to advance their missions.
  • No. 2: Grow and deepen connections between Maine nonprofits so they realize the benefits of working and learning together.
  • No. 3: 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.

MANP is always looking to expand its current roster of subject matter experienced individuals 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.
