Celebrating 30 Years of Service to Nonprofit Organizations

In 1979, 23 nonprofit organizations in Washington, D.C. came together to address a growing need for nonprofit training and advocacy. The group founded the Washington Council of Agencies, known today as the Center for Nonprofit Advancement. What began as the first association for nonprofits in the United States, today serves more than 800 nonprofit organizations throughout Greater Washington (including Washington, D.C., Northern Virginia and Montgomery and Prince George’s counties in Maryland).

Now celebrating our 30th year of service to nonprofits, the Center helps organizations maximize their efforts to achieve their missions. We provide training and education on how to manage and maximize resources. We're a center for sharing best practices through networking. We advocate so governments understand that nonprofits provide core services that hold communities together. And, we provide members with the buying power they need to operate efficiently.

When the Center is successful in strengthening nonprofits, nonprofits are successful in strengthening communities.

As we look ahead to the next 30 years, please join us in celebrating our member organizations and all that we have accomplished together during our first 30 years of service.
