About the Nonprofit Partnership Program

Cities and nonprofits often have shared missions and goals, but many nonprofits struggle to find and retain funding, support, volunteers, and awareness. The City of Chamblee's Nonprofit Partnership Program (NPP) is a testament to collaboration between the two and represents a winning combination to affect positive social change in communities.

The Chamblee Nonprofit Partnership Program is designed to strengthen, promote, and connect nonprofits by encouraging collaboration, enhancing organizational visibility and supporting organizational development and capacity-building.

The Chamblee NPP facilitates collaborations, builds community, promotes partnerships,  and provides development and financial opportunities through the following programs:
