Purpose: NonProfit Innovations, Inc. (NPI) is a nonprofit
provider of technical assistance and management support to under-resourced
nonprofit organizations through one-on-one consulting and outsourcing.
NPI is grateful for the opportunity to help small and emerging nonprofits
strengthen their infrastructure and programs at no or low cost.
