Use it to find other nonprofits in your county so you can look together at the particular challenges your region faces. Use it to share concerns and experiences with others in the same role you have -- whether you’re a board or staff member serving as an executive director, board chairperson, treasurer, or in a program, fundraising, or administrative position. Index by County. Use this index to find nonprofits in your area that share your commitment to organizational excellence. Please contact your nonprofit neighbors in your own county and region. Index by General Field. Use this new index to find others working in your field -- from the arts to women’s issues. Each organization chose its own primary field category (see choices at front of Index). Who is included? This directory includes the 1,251 organizations that were current Members of the N.C. Centerfor Nonprofits as of August 6, 1999, except for a few that asked not to be listed here. The Network includes 3,540 board and staff members and volunteers in these organizations. Each organization was asked to review a report detailing its information to be published in this directory. Purpose statements are included for all that responded to our requests for this information. See the next page if you want to add more names to your listing. Note the membership date after each organization’s name. We especially salute the 238 faithful Founding Members who joined by January of 1993 and the 315 faithful Charter Members who joined between January and July of 1993. What about the budget ranges? Center dues are on a sliding scale by the organization’s annual expenses (see next page for details); the budget range shown is based on the actual dues paid by each organization. What else? The Center also provides a variety of services to help you find other nonprofit practitioners with expertise on particular challenges your nonprofit faces -- issues related to leadership, boards, management, fundraising, communication, ethics, evaluation, advocacy, collaboration, planning, compliance, and many others.
