Redefining the Business Model The Miami Valley Nonprofit Collaborative (MVNC) was designed in 2015 to communicate, coordinate and create resources that build the capacity of local nonprofits. Rather than being a single person, place or center, the Collaborative consists of a network of organizations and professionals who volunteer their time, talents and other assets toward this effort, ensuring that our services are always affordable & accessible, regardless of a nonprofit’s size or budget. Along with serving as the nonprofit community’s hub for information, resources and referrals, it is committed to identifying and addressing the unmet training and professional development needs of our local nonprofit community. Our purpose is 3-fold: To COMMUNICATE accessible, affordable resources that support area nonprofits. To CONVENE nonprofit professionals to network, share best practices, and foster relationships, encouraging nonprofits to learn together and support one another. To CREATE high quality, yet affordable training & leadership development opportunities, largely unavailable to nonprofit professionals in our community due to cost. Just a few short years later, over 1,200 individuals have attended 28 events, programs have expanded from networking gatherings to professional training workshops and leadership development cohort experiences, churches, schools and government agencies have joined the gatherings, and nearly 850 subscribe to our monthly e-blast communications. Our redefined business model has worked! The commitment of MVNC and our partners is stronger than ever to continue to serve our community of agencies that serve others. We invite you to join us!
