Nonprofit Networks
Nonprofit Association of Washington partners with regional networks across the state to host trainings and gatherings of interest to the nonprofit community. These networks help provide local support to organizations in their area and disseminate information about NAWA’s resources to the broader nonprofit community. We provide ongoing assistance to these regional networks, many of which meet regularly to forge connections, share resources, and discuss relevant topics.
