Welcome to the Washington Nonprofit Institute

The Washington Nonprofit Institute is a website that provides anytime, anywhere nonprofit learning to organizations of all sizes. We reach nonprofits in every community in Washington State, empowering them with a broad set of resources and helping them build connections they need to succeed. These materials were developed by Washington Nonprofits, your state nonprofit association, in partnership with the Office of the Secretary of State and many others. Visit the Washington Nonprofits website for more resources, including a statewide calendar of classes, networking, and advocacy events.
