The Nonprofit HelpDesk

Helping nonprofits do good, better.

It takes a lot to survive as a community-based nonprofit organization. Nonprofit organizations are the backbone of a strong city, and we want to be a part of their continued success. That’s why JCCGCI created the NonProfit HelpDesk (NPHD) in 1992.

The NonProfit HelpDesk helps community-based nonprofits citywide go from surviving to thriving. Our training and technical assistance provides the support needed for nonprofits to focus on fulfilling their mission and providing excellent programs. We have helped more than 2,500 nonprofits enhance the efficiency, effectiveness and accountability of their programmatic, fiscal and administrative operations to expand and enhance service delivery.

Because the NonProfit HelpDesk is itself part of JCCGCI, a social service agency, we know how to deliver holistic support with understanding, relevance and innovation. Services include technology development, financial management training and support, fundraising, marketing, staff development, board development, corporate governance guidance and more.

Services for nonprofit organizations, by a nonprofit.

We would like to thank our NonProfit HelpDesk program funders, and NYC Department of Youth and Community Development (DYCD).
