Nonprofit Association of Washington enjoys working and advocating alongside you for the benefit of the Washington State nonprofit sector.
Our Mission

Our Three Primary Goals
Learning & Networks
Build on the success of our learning program, expand our offerings, and strengthen networks among nonprofits.
Public Policy & Advocacy
Create a positive climate for nonprofits, enhance nonprofit partnerships with government, and empower nonprofits to advocate for their missions.
Collaboration
Work together with partners to create a powerful, equitable nonprofit sector.
We achieve these goals with a strong commitment and respect for regional and cultural differences and by remaining nimble, delivering timely information and ideas, and staying accountable to our members and the greater nonprofit community.

Social Media
NAWA is active on four social media platforms with an audience of over 10k, and we love engaging with partners and collaborators when tagged online. If you’re collaborating on an event with us, make sure you share your social media handles so we can properly tag you, too, as we are promoting our shared event.
Current Platforms:
LinkedIn: @Nonprofit Association of Washington
Instagram: @nonprofitwa
Bluesky: @nonprofitwa.org
Policy Bluesky: @policy.nonprofitwa.org
Facebook: @NonprofitWA
To tag an account on any social media platform, you want to use ‘@’ before typing in the handle or name. When tagging Nonprofit Association of Washington, you’ll know you’ve got the right account when you see our logo.
On Instagram, you can tag someone, but you cannot share a post due to the restrictions on hyperlinks. Instead, take a screenshot of the graphic and direct people to the creator profile by tagging them in the post. If creating your own post, you can also tag NAWA as a collaborator using our handle @nonprofitwa. You’ll see a person icon on the left side of the graphic on the publishing page.
**Tagging on Facebook can be fickle, and tagged posts are held for review, so they won’t show up right away. If we’re not immediately popping up when trying to tag us, it’s okay to skip tagging us here.
