Not-for-Profit

“We must remember that one determined person can make a significant difference and that a small group of determined people can change the course of history.”
                                                                                                Sonia Johnson – American Activist

The Not-For-Profit Committee offers those in this vital sector the opportunity to make a more impactful difference together than they already do individually. Members share best practices about fundraising, volunteer recruitment and retention and budgeting. As a group they coordinate goals and better pursue limited resources while gaining access to a database of those resources. Coordination of galas allows for maximum success of each. The committee also hosts the Annual Spring Morris County Non-Profit Conference.
