The Maine Association of Nonprofits (MANP) is a Portland, Maine-based nonprofit association focused on enriching community and personal life by strengthening the leadership, advocacy voice, and organizational effectiveness of Maine’s nonprofits. It acts as a sector advocate, conducting research, defending its impact, and promoting it to policymakers, while enabling member organizations to engage in lawful advocacy on issues aligned with their missions. The organization also develops and delivers training and resources for staff and volunteers to support effective lobbying and governance. It serves a broad range of Maine nonprofits, creating a connected community that links leaders, supports talent development, and facilitates cross-sector collaboration to address sector-wide issues. Operating with a small staff in Portland, MANP provides governance guidance, legal-compliance resources, and professional development to strengthen organizational effectiveness. A notable recent development is a partnership with the Maine Community Foundation to launch a free Employee Assistance Program aimed at supporting the health and resilience of Maine's nonprofit workforce.
