Community Businesses: Why Join NANA?

Business leaders are increasingly looking for ways to make their time, talent, and success matter beyond the bottom line. The Nonprofit Advocates Networking Alliance (NANA) offers a different kind of networking experience—one built on purpose, relationships, and real community impact. Rather than transactional referrals or surface-level connections, NANA brings business professionals into ongoing advisory groups where their expertise directly supports local nonprofits working on the issues that matter most in their community.

Joining NANA allows business members to contribute meaningfully while also building authentic, trust-based relationships with other professionals and nonprofit leaders. As a member, you’re not just attending meetings—you’re becoming a valued advisor and advocate. You’ll gain deeper insight into the nonprofit sector, sharpen your leadership and problem-solving skills, and develop a reputation as someone who shows up consistently for their community. The structure respects your time while ensuring your contributions have lasting impact.

Beyond individual groups, NANA offers access to a growing network of civic-minded leaders across organizations and chapters. Members can visit and engage with other groups, expanding their reach, perspective, and influence while strengthening the nonprofit ecosystem as a whole. If you’re looking for a way to network with intention, give back using your professional strengths, and be part of something that truly makes a difference, NANA provides a meaningful path forward.
