We are happy to announce that
Nonprofit Resource Center of Northern Arizona (NPRC) has joined
with the
Alliance of Arizona Nonprofits. Thus, the current members of
NPRC have become members of the Alliance, with full rights, privileges
and benefits of Alliance membership as of April 1, 2009. NPRC
members can continue to expect quality services, valuable information
and training, and a high level of customer service, which have been
hallmarks of NPRC since its founding 7 years ago. In addition, these
members will enjoy an array of benefits and services and representation
in public policy provided by the Alliance, a statewide organization
dedicated to strengthening nonprofits in every corner of Arizona.
The Alliance celebrates the
achievements and commitment to excellence demonstrated by NPRC
as it developed and grew over the past several years.
Nonprofits in northern Arizona have been well served by long-time NPRC
Executive Director Christina Boyd and the members of the NPRC
Advisory Board and Board of Directors. Because of their vision,
leadership and commitment, the unique interests of northern
Arizona nonprofits have been heard and articulated. The Alliance
is committed to continuing to serve these interests, with the
same level of dedication to unique regional issues as
demonstrated in other parts of Arizona, such as the partnership
with the Yuma Area Nonprofit Institute and local nonprofit
groups in southern Arizona. To assure the smooth transition of
NPRC perspectives and values into the Alliance, a Transition
Task Force will meet throughout the next few months with the
goals of examining the strengths of each organization and
leveraging those for the benefit of all members.
Members of NPRC will soon receive
their welcome packets from the Alliance, with information on all
of the benefits and services they will begin receiving. To learn
more about these benefits, members should contact Sally
Clifford, Director of Member Relations for the Alliance at
602-279-2966 X15, or e-mail
sallyc@arizonanonprofits.org.
The mission of NPRC is to strengthen the communities of
rural and tribal northern Arizona by assisting the region’s nonprofits to more
effectively serve their clients.
To carry out our mission,
NPRC emphasizes:
1) Capacity building
programs, consisting primarily of nonprofit management workshops, seminars,
and tools.
2) Volunteerism programs, including volunteer matching, promotion of
volunteer opportunities, and volunteer events, such as Make a Difference Day.
