Brookings Council of Nonprofits
What is the Brookings Council of Nonprofits?
The Brookings Council of Nonprofits (BCNP) is a coalition that any Brookings County nonprofit may join. Established in 2018, this council meets the 4th Monday of every month through a social or meeting to network, dig deeper into local issues, collaborate, and share stories of community impact.
BCNP is a membership-based coalition with an annual cost of $20 per agency/organization. We value inclusivity in the nonprofit field, which is why some meetings and events are open to nonmembers at no cost to encourage connection and shared learning. Membership provides access to additional member-only events, resources, and opportunities that support deeper engagement and sustained collaboration through the annual fee.
To learn more about how to join BCNP membership, please email uw@brookingsunitedway.org or attend a scheduled nonmember meeting.
