The FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) listed on this site were inherited from Support Centers of America (SCA), following a merger between SCA and Nonprofit Management Association (NMA), and are now made available to the nonprofit community by the Alliance for Nonprofit Management.

If you have a question that is not answered in the FAQ, you may submit it here.  The questions will be reviewed, and those questions which are asked frequently will be answered by Alliance members and posted in our FAQs.  Also, you may find answers to your questions in the Alliance Resource Center, a collection of information on websites, books, videos, organizations and other resources for nonprofits. 

If you are interested in workshops or conferences on nonprofit management topics, visit the Alliance Event Calendar.  For more information on organizations that provide training in your area, or to find a consultant, you'll find a wealth of information in the Alliance Provider's Search - a searchable directory of nonprofit capacity builders. 

The Alliance greatly appreciates the support of American Express in making these FAQ's possible.
