Northern Illinois University
Northern Illinois Center for Nonprofit Excellence

We want to ensure that all organizations can belong to NICNE. That's why our sliding scale fees are based on your operating budget. Read more about membership. If you have any questions, contact Pam Clark Reidenbach, executive director, at pclark1@niu.edu.

Corporate Members

We're grateful for the support of our corporate member, Arthur J. Gallagher & Co.

We know that nonprofit leaders aren't the only ones committed to community improvement. For-profit leaders also recognize that the health of our regional economy depends on the ability of all residents to thrive. By building partnerships with the business community, we increase our capacity to bring together leaders from all sectors to address significant community outcomes.

Our corporate members become partners with dozens of other agencies in our region. We recognize your investment in several ways:

• Refer people inquiring about professional services to your business.
• Post your logo and a link to your webpage on our website.
• Promote any training opportunities you may provide and/or your services in our newsletter (reaching nearly 2,000 people across northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin).
