With so many nonprofits in Erie County, it is great to have resources and collaboration available through The Nonprofit Partnership. I have attended several of the Nonprofit Day (Keystone Nonprofit Conference) seminars and I look forward to the content each year. With changes in policy and technology trends, it is also nice to have access to learning opportunities throughout the year. It is really nice to have a centralized organization to assist with our varying needs. Thank you!

Each of the (many) trainings that I have attended through The Nonprofit Partnership over the past… years has provided a valuable resource for professional development opportunity for staff and Board Members to the overall benefit of our organization [the Foundation for Sustainable Forests]. NPP trainings are focused, relevant and on-point for the needs of a small non-profit organization such as ours.

The Nonprofit Partnership has been a constant throughout my career — from intern, to part-time staff, and now as a resource I lean on in my current role at the Erie City Mission. The NPP team is incredible, and the amount I've learned from them is hard to put into words. They are truly a vital resource for nonprofits in Erie, and I'm grateful to have them in my corner.

Marketing Manager - Erie City Mission
I have watched The Nonprofit Partnership grow from an initiative of The Erie Community Foundation into an independent charitable organization that empowers nonprofits to be their very best. Under Adam Bratton's leadership, and with the talented team of Emmy Geiger and Kensley Semple, The Nonprofit Partnership brings creativity, best practices, and forward-thinking strategies to bolster the nonprofit sector. As a proven educational resource, The Nonprofit Partnership strengthens nonprofits, which ultimately lifts up our entire community.
