Tri-City Nonprofit Coalition Announces Formation and Mission

Calling all local nonprofits and supporters!

A small group of local nonprofit representatives and advocates are in the early planning phases of establishing a new organization that will provide support and resources for nonprofits in the Tri-City area.

Spearheaded by Fremont residents Kathy Kimberlin, Greg Green, Lisa Stambaugh, and Tina Fernandez Steckler, this project was inspired by a desire to strengthen the Tri-Cities’ many nonprofits through idea and resource sharing, and more.

The group’s working name is Tri-City Nonprofit Coalition (TCNC) and its mission is to strengthen the ability of all local nonprofit organizations to successfully accomplish their respective missions by collaborating, sharing information, and raising community awareness. This will be a great opportunity to work together and support each other.

TCNC is seeking feedback from a wide sector of our community -- not just nonprofits. Input and involvement from nonprofit donors, volunteers, and other stakeholders would provide valuable insight as would recommendations from businesses who support nonprofits and/or offer professional services to nonprofits. Thought sharing at this early stage will be instrumental in shaping TCNC’s focus and clarifying objectives to ensure the coalition meets the needs of local nonprofits and the causes they serve.

Current TCNC objectives include creating a collaborative environment, providing an information hub useful to Tri City nonprofits and community members, facilitating learning opportunities, strengthening partnerships, and building an alliance of supporting businesses, organizations, and individuals who wish to support nonprofits’ success.

Resources under consideration include a nonprofit directory, a comprehensive event calendar, a list of volunteer opportunities, a library of vendors and professional service resources, educational and networking events, a newsletter, and a virtual bulletin board to share nonprofit job openings and other useful information.

You can be a part of this exciting new nonprofit resource by participating in the TCNC online survey. The Google survey link is: https://bit.ly/338Qp1V and must be completed by August 28, 2020. Questions? Contact us at tcnonprofitcoalition@gmail.com.
