New York State Associations

There are two state associations for nonprofits in New York. Below is more detailed information about each association.

New York Council of Nonprofits

The New York Council of Nonprofits (NYCON) was founded in 1927. It is a 501 (C)(3) membership-based, mission-driven, statewide association of various charitable nonprofit organizations. They are a key support and information provider, and a collective policy voice for the nonprofit sector.

The association has over 3,000 members, and they work to strengthen the capacity of nonprofits and communities to improve the quality of life through cost-effective, responsive service. In addition, they establish long-term, multi-layered service relationships with the member nonprofits.

In order to directly help and educate their nonprofit constituencies, they also work closely with the government (federal and state) and the private sector (community foundations, private foundations, and United Ways).
