30 Years of Service to NonprofitsThe Center for Nonprofit Advancement is truly the Washington, DC region's catalyst for advancing nonprofits by being the most comprehensive resource for education and training, networking, advocacy and buying opportunities.

Most importantly, the Center helps nonprofits maximize their efforts to achieve their missions--not waste precious effort and resources on administrative and professional challenges. When the Center is successful in strengthening nonprofits, nonprofits are successful in strengthening communities.

Now celebrating our 30th year of service to nonprofits, the Center helps organizations maximize their efforts to achieve their missions. We provide training and education on how to manage and maximize resources. We're a center for sharing best practices through networking. We advocate so governments understand that nonprofits provide core services that hold communities together. And, we provide members with the buying power they need to operate efficiently.

Membership is open to any 501(c) organizations in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. Founded in 1979 (as the Washington Council of Agencies), the Center currently serves more than 800 organizational members.
