Massachusetts Nonprofit Network
About
The Massachusetts Nonprofit Network now operates as the Massachusetts Council of Nonprofits, or MCN, a statewide organization that brings together nonprofits, funders, community and business leaders and elected officials. Its mission is to unite and strengthen the nonprofit sector through advocacy, programming, resources and communications. With more than 700 nonprofit and affiliate members from every region of the state, MCN acts as a voice for a sector of more than 42,000 organizations employing over 17 percent of the state’s workforce.
Advocacy is a large part of the work. MCN pushes for policies at the state, local and federal levels on nonprofit and government partnerships, fair tax policy, talent and philanthropy, and hosts Public Policy Forums that bring government leaders and members together for candid conversations. Programming includes webinars, regional meetings, affinity groups and lunch and learns. Members also get four newsletters a month and, in the member portal, a curated list of Massachusetts grants and a Funding Sources Directory.
