Nonprofit Organizations


There are over 800 registered nonprofits in Chester County. All need resources: money and expertise.

The Community Foundation’s Nonprofit Suite of Services is designed to strengthen nonprofits. All nonprofits are urged to take advantage of our capacity building initiatives, which include:

  • Training & Workshops: Low cost to no cost, customized workshops focused on topics related to attracting endowed and planned gifts.
  • Board of Directors Workshops: This series provides nonprofit board members the opportunity to strengthen their skills and expand their knowledge. Topics range from understanding finances, cyber security, and marketing to addressing diversity, inclusion, and equity within your organization. Sessions will be held online.
  • Board of Directors Institute: Provides nonprofit boards an opportunity to network with other nonprofit boards, strengthen skills and expand knowledge in a half day in-person setting. Topics are wide ranging and change yearly. Save the date for our 2025 event, more information to come.
  • Peer Learning Circles: Provide a chance for peers to learn from their own and others’ experiences. and to immediately test and apply their learning at their nonprofits.
  • Community Conversations: Zoom in monthly at noon to watch a video about a social justice topic and engage in a lively discussion with your peers. Join us and help envision a more equitable community where all can enjoy life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
  • GetOnBoard ChesCo: We train, connect, and support emerging leaders with the nonprofits they wish to serve throughout Chester County.

Nonprofits with an endowment fund held in trust by the Community Foundation are urged to take advantage of our SUITE OF PLANNED GIVING SERVICES, to help grow endowments steadily and surely over time as donors make their estate plans and include charities in the mix. By partnering with us, there is perpetual support for your nonprofit in several ways, including Planned Gifts.
