Center for Nonprofit Excellence (CNE) believes we can best strengthen the social impact sector by investing in the people and organizations that build community. We mentor, train, coach, advocate and partner with our members and community organizations at large so they can be positive, powerful agents for community change. We help social impact organizations build the foundations of strong leadership, effective governance and skilled, motivated and inspired staff. With direct engagement with over 710 nonprofit organizations last year alone, and established strong partnerships with regional funders across the state, CNE has built a diverse, progressive, dynamic community of practice. CNE invests in nonprofits because strong nonprofits create strong communities.
