Program accomplishments
- Informing the Field: NCN is the trusted go-to resource for and about the nonprofit sector. We provide timely, practical information that nonprofits and foundations depend on and use in their everyday operations. Our publications illuminate the challenges nonprofits face and why healthy communities depend upon a flourishing nonprofit sector. In 2025, we launched "Nonprofits Get it Done," a narrative campaign elevating authentic stories about the essential services nonprofits provide in communities across the country; these positive ads received more than 55 million views and 100,000 clicks in just three months. NCN empowered nonprofits with free, practical tools through 10 free webinars and our online Resource Library, which received more than 7 million website views across more than 1,000 web pages.Expenses $2,882,368 · revenue $199,273
- Network Support and Capacity Building: As North America's largest nonprofit network, NCN unites organizations across all subsectors through 57 state and regional associations. We provide a collaborative forum to share strategies, amplify our collective voice, and respond swiftly to operational and policy developments. In 2025, NCN welcomed five new network members. In addition to hosting convenings and peer learning cohorts, we invested more than $1.5 million in capacity-building and organizational strengthening awards to our state association members. We also released a report on how small investments in staff wellbeing benefit organizations. By strengthening our network, we bolster the capacity of nonprofits nationwide to foster resilient, thriving communities.Expenses $2,691,957 · grants $1,624,930 · revenue $311,723

By equipping nonprofits with the tools to advocate for their missions, we empower them to transform lives and strengthen communities. In 2025, we filed four landmark lawsuits, taking action to defend nonprofit funding and rights. Key victories included securing two nationwide injunctions blocking broad federal grant freezes and launching litigation to protect food assistance for 42 million Americans. We also mobilized over 10,000 people and nonprofits nationwide to sign letters submitted to Congress advocating for policymaking that benefit nonprofit operations and funding.Expenses $979,525
- Legislative and Lobbying Activities: The National Council of Nonprofits (NCN) exercises the First Amendment and statutory rights enjoyed by charitable nonprofits to petition governments by engaging in direct and grassroots lobbying to promote legislation that supports the work of the nonprofit community and oppose proposals that would hinder the ability of nonprofits to improve the quality of life for individuals and communities.NCN has elected to apply the cost-expenditure standards available under section 501(h) of the Internal Revenue Code. These objective guidelines establish a clear legal framework, empowering charitable nonprofits to advocate for their missions while ensuring full and transparent compliance. NCN and its staff comply in all respects with federal lobbying disclosure laws.Expenses $129,612
