Organization description:
Our operations support helps our members grow, save time, and run
effectively. Running a nonprofit is incredibly complex. Nonprofit leaders
are forced to take on accounting, human resources, and the law, which
takes them away from what they’re great at, serving their community. Each
nonprofit duplicates these administrative efforts, which wastes valuable
resources. Our effective, efficient, and equitable administrative support
eliminates the duplication of effort and makes it possible for our members
to focus on what’s important — the mission.
