About the Alliance

The Alliance for Nonprofit Management is the professional association of individuals and organizations devoted to improving the management and governance capacity of nonprofits - to assist nonprofits in fulfilling their mission.  

The Alliance is a learning community that promotes quality in nonprofit capacity building.  The Alliance convenes a major annual conference, networks colleagues year-round online, and provides member discounts on books and other publications.  The Alliance provides visibility to its members in the online “Find a Consultant or Service Provider” directory, the People of Color Roster, Alliance Insights eNewsletter, Member Spotlights and membership directory.

Become a member of the Alliance if you:

• Provide consulting or technical assistance to nonprofits,
• Develop organizational systems or training programs within your nonprofit,
• Write about nonprofits or conduct research on the nonprofit sector,
• Deliver education/training for nonprofit managers or students,
• Provide grants to nonprofits that impact organizational effectiveness,
• Provide technology solutions to nonprofits,

Alliance members include management support organizations (MSOs), individual professionals, and a range of national/regional, umbrella, research and academic, publishing and philanthropic organizations that provide technical assistance (training and consulting) to nonprofits.   See "Our Universe" for an illustration of the many different kinds of capacity builders who are Alliance members and potential members.

As the Alliance aims to achieve quality in nonprofit management, we provide leadership in the enhancement of a broader vision - one of stronger, healthier communities and civil society.
