Overview
Mission
The young nonprofit professionals network (ynpn) activates emerging leaders by connecting them with resources, people, and ideas. Our nation and our communities are facing serious challenges. At the same time, technology and new thinking about networks are presenting unprecedented opportunities for social change. In order to take advantage of these opportunities and overcome these challenges, we need inspired and engaged leaders who bring energy, creativity, and new perspectives to the sector. Ynpn activates emerging leaders and helps them acquire the skills and awareness they need to be effective changemakers. With these leaders, we're building a diverse and powerful social sector that can support and strengthen our communities.
What it reported doing in 2018
Member support & development: all 42 of our ynpn chapters across the country are founded and led by young professionals from the local community. These chapter leaders work on a volunteer basis to serve their peers and their community and in the process gain skills, leadership experience, and gain connections that they can utilize throughout their careers and lives. Ynpn provides leadership development, resources, networking, and advocacy support.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 81% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
