NONPROFIT RESOURCE EXCHANGE

The Nonprofit Resource Exchange San Diego is a place for nonprofit organizations to ask for what they need and to offer what they have to other nonprofit organizations. The Nonprofit Resource Exchange San Diego is built on the value of reciprocity with the goal of sharing resources to help the nonprofit sector as we all work together to lead our teams, serve our clients, re-imagine how we work, and sustain our organizations for the future.

Nonprofit Resource Exchange San Diego was originally created as a pilot program through a partnership between FIELDSTONE LEADERSHIP NETWORK SAN DIEGO and THE NONPROFIT INSTITUTE to address immediate needs presented by COVID. Because it has proven to be a valuable asset, we continue to host the space.
