Northeast Community Center

What Northeast Community Center does

Northeast Community Center (NECC) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit community center located at 4001 N. Cook St., Spokane, Washington, founded in 1982 and operating continuously for over 40 years. The organization serves residents of nine Northeast Spokane neighborhoods—Chief Garry Park, Hillyard, Logan, Bemiss, Whitman, Nevada Heights, Shiloh Hills, Minnehaha, and Riverside—delivering a multi-vertical bundle of social services including childcare, after-school and summer programs, senior programs, healthcare, counseling, energy assistance, a community garden, and a farmers market. NECC operates on a hub-and-spoke model: it provides its own initiatives directly while hosting 10 agency partners on-site that deliver medical, dental, pharmacy, mental health, and childcare services, in addition to participating in a broader network of 80+ collaborative partners reported in its 2022 Annual Report.

NECC's business model is that of a community-serving nonprofit rather than a commercial enterprise; services are offered free or at low cost to residents and the center is funded through donations, grants, agency partner arrangements, and fee-generating event hosting (room rentals for classes, meetings, auctions, and wedding receptions). The organization's only disclosed technology is a WordPress website built with the Beaver Builder page builder, supplemented by Constant Contact for email marketing and newsletter distribution. Strategic partnerships with The ZONE Spokane, the City of Spokane, and the Northeast Public Development Authority position NECC as a quasi-governmental stakeholder in housing and neighborhood development initiatives within Northeast Spokane. Headcount is approximately 43 employees, and no audited revenue figures are publicly disclosed.
