Nonprofit Professionals of Atlanta (NPA) is a volunteer-led, professionally powered network designed to connect nonprofit professionals across Greater Atlanta.
Metro Atlanta is home to a vibrant community of over 300,000 mission-driven jobs, yet its nonprofit landscape has long been decentralized. Without a dedicated, unified professional network, individual leaders often work in silos.
NPA bridges this gap by serving as a connector, convener, and centralized information hub. We bring together the diverse talent driving our city's impact to share resources, spark cross-sector collaboration, and build deep, lasting relationships.
Strategic Networking
Curated events with structured activities and guided conversations to help professionals meet, learn from one another, and build deep, lasting relationships.
Ecosystem Collaboration
NPA is designed to complement, not compete with, Atlanta’s existing nonprofit-serving associations and affinity groups. By acting as a centralized convener and amplifier, we encourage cross-promotion and collaboration across the professional community.
Digital Resource Hub
Access to a dedicated calendar of activities, webinars, and professional development hosted by NPA, Purpose Possible, and trusted resource partners.
Peer Support
We champion the people behind the mission-driven work. By bringing together fundraising, marketing, operations, programming, and executive leadership under one virtual and physical roof, members gain cross-sector insights, shared access to resources, and a resilient peer network at every stage of their career.

Resource Partners
We invite nonprofit-serving associations, networks, and affinity groups to partner with us in expanding access to valuable tools, learning opportunities, and development resources.
By cross-promoting events and offering NPA members free or discounted access to training, our partners help unify Atlanta’s social impact ecosystem through learning and development.
NPA does not aim to replace or diminish skill-specific networks; rather, we exist to collaboratively amplify your work and expand access across the sector.
Sponsors & Event Hosts
NPA events run on the generosity of our community, and event sponsors help make every gathering possible. In return, you get real face time with the room: a chance to speak directly to our members and share what your organization does.
Host an Event: Open your doors for an NPA gathering to showcase your work and facility.
Sponsor a Gathering: Cover food and beverage expenses (minimum $500 contribution) at a local venue, restaurant, or brewery.
Benefit: Receive face time with our audience—including dedicated speaking time during the event to share your organization's mission and offerings directly with our network.
Contact Erin to discuss sponsorship.
Advocates
Grassroots momentum is everything. We are looking for passionate nonprofit professionals, board members, consultants, and sector champions to act as NPA ambassadors.
Advocates help spread the word within their networks, invite peers to gatherings, and provide critical insights that help us shape programming to meet the real-time needs of Atlanta's workforce.
Contact Amanda to learn more about becoming an NPA Advocate.
