The Center for Nonprofit Advancement is a regional nonprofit association based in Washington, D.C., serving nonprofit organizations in the District of Columbia, Maryland's Prince George's and Montgomery counties, and Virginia. Founded in 1979, it provides advocacy, education, networking opportunities, and collective purchasing power to help nonprofits meet the needs of diverse communities. The organization operates with a relatively small staff, positioning itself as a regional support hub for mission-driven groups. Its primary customers are nonprofits in its service area, for whom it aims to strengthen capacity, visibility, and collaboration. In the nonprofit sector, it acts as a facilitator of advocacy, education, networking, and group buying power to address a range of sector challenges. In 2024, jbrfdc.org announced a partnership with the Center through the Chief Executive Leaders Ascend Program to support Black women-led nonprofits and promote systemic change.
