MNN has recently partnered with
First Nonprofit Group (FNG) to provide our members with the
opportunity to save up to 60% on unemployment insurance costs. Since 2001, FNG has helped over 1,400 nonprofit organizations across the country save over $68 million in unemployment taxes. We know that nonprofits are frequently asked to do more with less; as such, we want to ensure our members have ample opportunities to save money in smart ways such as these. Participation in FNG programs provides a fixed annual cost, claims representation in unemployment hearings, no pooling or shared risk, and more benefits.
Click the times below to register for one of two informational webinars FNG and MNN are hosting on
Thursday, October 12: one at
10:30am and one at
2:30pm. More information on the webinars can be found below.

 Today is National Voter Registration Day
Today is National Voter Registration Day, an annual one-day nonpartisan event created to register all eligible voters and to make sure no one misses the opportunity to vote due to a registration problem.
