Our Members Are Our Mission

WHY WE SERVE

The Non-Profit Sector is a Non-Growth Sector

Charity is in desperate need of an overhaul. Current legislation, tax laws, industry standards, outdated philosophies, organizational structures and practices stop the sector from growth on all fronts. Yet, for the past twenty years, government and philanthropic communities have relied more and more on the nonprofit sector to tackle many social and environmental issues. Simply put, industry standards have not kept up with or changed to meet the new demands of the 21st century.

National Association of Nonprofit Organizations & Executives (NANOE) is a nationwide network of donors, foundations and corporations whose relentless commitment to significant and sustainable impact transforms the communities we serve. NANOE investors are innovators who solve problems (not just service them) by deploying heroic missions of scale that confront social and environmental dilemmas so completely that money chases after their every need.

1.6 MILLION - There are 1.6 million tax-exempt organizations in the United States – this includes all 501(c) designations from churches, human welfare, education, health, the arts and environment.

70.5% - 1.2 million charities or 70.5% have budgets under $500,000. Only 360,000 (20.39%) have revenues of $1m or more and represent health and education institutions who already use free-market principles to grow their organizations.

145 - In the past fifty years 45,000 for-profit companies have exceeded $50 million in revenues. Only 145 nonprofits have reached that mark in the same time period.

2.5% - Charitable giving has stagnated for fifty years ($390 billion in 2017) hovering right around 2.2% of Gross National Product for five decades.

33 TRILLION - The charitable sector generates and spends $1.65 trillion dollars annually. Meaning, over the next 20 YEARS nonprofits will spend over $33 trillion dollars WITHOUT ACHIEVING SIGNIFICANT IMPACT.

WHO WE SERVE

FOUNDATIONS, CORPORATIONS & PHILANTHROPISTS: - NANOE supports donors by ensuring the nonprofits they financially support are equipped for success. NANOE protects a giver’s investment by working side-by-side with the recipient of their gifts ensuring that the organization uses their gift to increase capacity and foster growth. NANOE also provides foundations, corporations, and philanthropists an alternative to saying “no” to the nonprofit not yet equipped to receive their investment. Instead, funders can provide the gift of the NANOE to prepare them for a future opportunity to receive funding.

EXECUTIVES, BOARD MEMBERS, STAFF & VOLUNTEERS - NANOE’s founders have trained more than 17,000 charitable leaders whose relentless commitment to significant and sustainable impact transforms the communities they serve. NANOE members are innovators who solve problems (not just service them) by deploying heroic missions of scale that confront social and environmental dilemmas so completely that money chases after their every need.


INSTRUCTORS, MENTORS & CONSULTANTS - NANOE believes properly trained consultants are the key to providing nonprofit organizations the information they need to succeed. NANOE credentials Executive Directors, Development Officers, Human Resource Directors, Finance Directors, Program Directors, Volunteers, and Board Members who are ready to share their experiences with others. NANOE hosts a biennial conference, provides the Certified Nonprofit Consultant credential, as well as the world’s largest online training platform and capacity-building library.

FOR-PROFIT SERVICE PROVIDERS & VENDORS - NANOE provides vendors who serve the charitable sector the opportunity to be established as a CBE Capacity-Building Enterprise (CBE) Preferred Service Provider. This “Seal of Approval” gives Nonprofit Executives the confidence they need when choosing cost-efficient and superior services to accomplish their mission. Each NANOE preferred partner has distinguished themselves in service to the sector and have been named a “PREFERRED PROVIDER” to the charitable sector.
