What Members Are Saying About NYCON...
“I feel less alone out here knowing NYCON is there.”
“I have already recommended NYCON to friends at other small non-profits because the staff is so knowledgeable and so willing to spend a few minutes on the phone answering questions."
“I cannot tell you how happy we are…NYCON was extremely helpful and persistent. We could not have done the work – and indeed would not have known where to start – without you.”
“(NYCON is) The place to go for not-for-profit assistance.”

The average nonprofit member pays only $110 in dues and can save significantly more than that by taking advantage of our group purchasing programs alone. NYCON and Council Services Plus (our insurance subsidiary) saved more than $160,000 in health insurance premiums and over $99,000 in Unemployment costs in 2008 alone!
What are the NYCON Membership Benefits?

Access to high quality, affordable technical assistance for your own nonprofit. Frequently we work with nonprofits on board governance issues, fiscal procedures, budgeting, policies and procedures, personnel policies, bylaws, compliance issues, entrepreneurial ventures, collaborations, etc. These services are tailored to meet your needs and most services start at $105 per hour. |
|
|
Employee Benefits for your staff. Many nonprofits are facing the challenge of being able to provide affordable, high quality benefits packages. Through CS Plus, we are able to provide you with information, products and services to help you create a great package your nonprofit can afford. |

Organizational Insurance and Risk Management assistance. Many times nonprofits aren´t sure what they are required to have as far as insurance coverage. Do your funders require particular limits? Are you insured for that special event? Would you just like someone to talk to about your nonprofits "risk" factors and appropriate insurance coverage. That´s all included in NYCON Membership |
