The mission of the Nonprofit Services Center (NSC) is to strengthen and increase the capacity of the nonprofit sector to better serve its constituents and build better communities through collaborative vision and action. We accomplish this by providing education, training, consultation and technical assistance programs that are responsive, comprehensive, integrated, efficient and effective. NSC is committed to identifying and offering the highest quality programs and services to support the needs of community leadership, nonprofits and the sector as a whole. NSC is the industry leader for affordable and innovative capacity building, programs and services and resources that strengthen Missouri and Southern Illinois nonprofits. NSC was created in 1996 to serve the nonprofit sector as it plays a vital role in setting the agenda for communities and provides leadership for addressing common problems.
