Below are just a few of the many local and regional resources we like:

Washington Nonprofits Some great resources include: “Boards In Gear” and Finance Unlocked for Nonprofits (FUN), actionable information and practical tools.

Bellingham Public Library Nonprofit Resource Center Information and tools to help grant-seekers find funds and to help nonprofits grow into vital community organizations.

Nonprofits need strong, well-equipped leaders. Board Match is designed for people interested in nonprofit board service; it offers a way to give back while advancing professional and personal goals, and it teaches skills for first-time or new board service.

Board Match is currently being redesigned, with plans to relaunch the program in early 2024.
