Nonprofit Westchester

What Nonprofit Westchester does

Nonprofit Westchester (legal name: Nonprofit Association of Westchester, Inc.) is a 501(c)(3) membership association headquartered in White Plains, NY that serves as Westchester County's only membership organization dedicated solely to strengthening the local nonprofit sector. The organization aggregates 370+ nonprofit members spanning human services, health, education, arts, environment, housing, immigration, and youth development, and is governed by Executive Director Jan Fisher with a board and membership structure rather than equity ownership.

The organization's product portfolio combines a member services backbone with a layered professional development and advocacy stack. The operational backbone is a Wild Apricot-powered member portal that delivers a searchable nonprofit directory, a job board, event registration, an advocacy platform, and a member news feed. Built on top of this infrastructure are recurring professional development programs — including the 11-month Emerging Leaders Program, the four-part HR Virtual Summer Lunch & Learn Series delivered with Jackson Lewis, the Data Learning Lab co-led with AEQUA Strategies and Jill Singer Graphics, the Nonprofit Learning Labs, and the Nonprofit Matters board development series — alongside convening events such as the Inside the Sector Series launched at Manhattanville University in June 2026, the Summer Celebration at Hudson River Museum, and the annual Advocacy Day at the state capitol. Affinity groups (notably a CFO Affinity Group hosted with Atlantic Tomorrow's Office), the 2025 Nonprofit Compensation Report, and the Keep Westchester Thriving Awards program round out the offering.

The revenue model is a hybrid of recurring membership dues, episodic event fees (e.g., $30 per session for non-members in the HR Lunch & Learn Series), corporate sponsorships, and tax-deductible donations. The organization explicitly acknowledges that membership dues only partially cover program costs, making donations and sponsor revenue structural rather than supplementary. Go-to-market is community-led: NPW acquires members through advocacy platform participation, professional development, networking events, and member-driven referrals, distributing services through direct membership recruitment, in-person and virtual programming across Westchester County, business partner/sponsor packages, and a self-service online portal. The organization is regionally bounded to Westchester County with broader New York State advocacy reach, and operates without disclosed parent company, equity backing, or funding rounds.
