The Council, Nonprofit Communications Network and CANBE Create Formal Alliance
On January 1, 2008, the Council, NCN and CANBE became one organization – an act approved by the Boards of all three organizations and approved by the members of NCN and CANBE. A formal alliance between the Council, NCN and CANBE will allow us to:
Cut administrative costs
Reduce duplication of services
Increase the reach of these important capacity-building organizations.
Individuals with current memberships in NCN or CANBE will automatically become members of the Council on Philanthropy. Learn more about the alliance.
