Obtaining the CNE (Certified Nonprofit Executive), CNC (Certified Nonprofit Consultant), and CDE (Certified Development Executive) credentials from NANOE has been a game-changer for my career in the nonprofit sector. Each of these credentials offers distinct benefits that have significantly enhanced my professional growth and impact. If you don't have these credentials, I high recommend you look in to earning all three.

After 30 years of working in the nonprofit sector, I have seen firsthand the many challenges that organizations face. For years, I watched as the sector struggled to build true capacity, and many charities seemed to falter under the weight of outdated models and insufficient support. Despite these struggles, I always hoped that the sector could evolve and flourish—if only organizations could find the right strategies to engage their donors and grow sustainably.

That's when NANOE (National Association of Nonprofit Organizations & Executives) came into my life. NANOE has truly reignited my faith in the potential of charities to thrive. Through its innovative approach to donor engagement, I have learned how crucial it is to not only nurture existing donor relationships but also to actively seek out new, like-minded supporters who share a passion for the organization's mission.

What I’ve learned from NANOE has been nothing short of transformative. It’s clear that the future of the nonprofit sector lies in cultivating strong, meaningful partnerships with donors—partnerships built on shared values and a mutual commitment to the organization's vision. By focusing on long-term donor relationships and embracing new models of engagement, charities can unlock their full potential and build the capacity needed to make a lasting impact.

NANOE has shown me that charities don't just need donors—they need engaged partners who are invested in their success. I am personally grateful for the knowledge and insights NANOE has provided, and I am more confident than ever in the possibility of nonprofits not only surviving but thriving in a rapidly changing world.

Being a new executive director with a new development director we knew we needed a plan to guide us for fundraising. The expertise, guidance and support helped teach us in three years how to do appropriate stewardship. We were able to double our budget and triple individual giving!

I'm the CEO of the Domestic Abuse Shelter, Inc. of the FL Keys, Monroe County, FL. The National Association of Nonprofit Organizations & Executives (NANOE) has been amazing to work with. I attended the MGRU training in November of 2021. Shortly thereafter we went under contract with them to rebuild a shelter lost during hurricane Irma in 2017 and to expand the operations for sustainability in the future. I have worked monthly, for over two years with a consultant and am very happy with the experience. I truly feel like more than a client, I feel like a part of the NANOE family. I highly recommend the training and then signing on with them as a partnership do your work.

I first learned about the National Association of Nonprofit Organizations & Executives (NANOE), from a client who was a member. At her recommendation, I attended a two-day Major Gifts Ramp-Up™ event and recently completed the first of three NANOE professional credentials (Certified Nonprofit Executive (CNE), Certified Development Executive (CDE), and Certified Nonprofit Consultant (CNC)). NANOE offers a wealth of resources for continued learning and professional development (online and in-person events and conferences, videos, and so on), and is a network of engaging and experienced donors, volunteers, and charitable leaders committed to innovation and impact. The NANOE team is highly responsive, supportive, a pleasure to work with, and strives for members to succeed on an individual and organizational level.

Ever since reading Jimmy LaRose's book Reimagining Philanthropy, I have been thrilled to work with the veteran nonprofit and fundraising professionals. They have creatively addressed every challenge and barrier I had experienced as Executive Director for a large nonprofit for over 20 years. The insights and clear thinking they have incorporated to address the number one issue nonprofits are faced with, namely finding new donors and successfully having them support in exceptional ways, are more than impressive. The nonprofit sector does the most important work to save and changes lives, and NANOE is the best resource I have found to assist in a multitude of ways.

I was drawn to NANOE because of its emphasis on nonprofit capacity building. Plus, their values resonated with mine. As I explored what they had to offer, I was impressed that what they were advocating was all research-based. The concepts they espoused weren't just theories - they were based on actual empirical evidence. I felt that I found the home I was looking for all my life.

It never ceases to amaze me the sheer volume of content and resources NANOE offers to guide the nonprofit realm. Members can access vast databases of training resources to upskill and be more effective at things like fundraising and nonprofit governance. They can tap into volumes of winning cases for support, grant applications, and other supporting documents so they don't have to "reinvent the wheel" every time they begin a new fundraising campaign or other initiative. And that barely even scratches the surface of NANOE as a nonprofit powerhouse.

The information is there for the taking, to streamline the process, and allow nonprofit decision-makers to focus on growing good.

I highly recommend NANOE!

Years ago in my role as the VP of Development and sole fundraiser for a nonprofit with a sizeable budget and local and global influence, I discovered the National Association of Nonprofit Organizations & Executives while seeking to grow professionally as a leader and fundraiser. Reading Re-imagining Philanthropy, communicating with NANOE's leadership, experiencing an MGRU conference, and learning from the incredible resources and certifications made available to me through my NANOE membership have literally changed my career and equipped me to help nonprofit boards and leaders address their leadership and fundraising issues in truly significant ways so they can thrive in carrying out their missions. I am so very grateful for NANOE.

As a seasoned fundraising professional, I am happy to be a NANOE Certified Development Executive (CDE) as part of my continued career education and advancement. It's exciting to belong to this vast network of fundraising professionals with whom I can contribute to the dialogue while learning, at the same time. And, NANOE provides a reasonable, sensible and affordable credentialing process that is thorough and supportive without the anxiety. So glad to be a part of NANOE!

I have been following NANOE for some time and I must say that I am very impressed with the organization. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The resources provided for the Credential exams are very user friendly and make taking the exams, not feel so overwhelming.
I know this organization is "shaking up" the nonprofit world, but this is all good and what we need. I would recommend them to any nonprofit organization that is looking to take themself to the next level!

This is the most functional, accountable board I have served on! Each board member donates financially, contributes endless hours by providing the executive team their expertise, carefully reads and comments on all board documents, ensures the proper accounting practices are in place, contributes to product development, and holds the executive team accountable for NANOE's advancement. It's been a great experience to work with this set of professionals and people dedicated to serving nonprofits in the USA. The executive team freely share successes and mistakes and seeks the wisdom of the board in making tough decisions. There is an openness present that is refreshing and energizing.

Thank you NANOE for the training and knowledge to advance my career!

Having had the privilege and honor of serving on many different Nonprofit boards and helping many other Nonprofits in an advisory capacity...I can honestly say that I am VERY impressed with what the National Association of Nonprofit Organizations and Executives brings to the table.
I was there at the first event NANOE held and have attended several others...I have watched as NANOE has grown and adapted to our ever changing world.
NANOE has continued to expand the programs and services they offer to serve both the small (start-up) and large Nonprofits.
In a time of uncertainty and difficult economy...NANOE has continued to not only show a path to success...but a better easier path to success.
I am most impressed with the Major Gift Ramp Up that NANOE offers...teaching/helping Nonprofits reach their Fundraising Goals and securing the Nonprofits future.
I can not strongly enough state...if you want to grow your Nonprofit and do it in a sustainable manner...then you want to use the NANOE tools that are available to you.

I first became familiar with NANOE by attending their virtual conference in April 2021 on behalf of a non-profit I am most involved with - Fathers on the Move. I was first taken by the extensive experiences and expertise of the NANOE principals and overall Team. I and others on the FOTM Board just convinced our ED to become a lifetime member, and I have also recommended NANOE membership to other non-profits I help on a volunteer basis. The experience we have all had with multiple NANOE personnel has been first-rate. The membership cost is modest for any association, not to mention one that has an enormous compilation of tools, information, organization alliances, and many other things that can help a non-profit with aspirations realize those aspirations. I will continue to proudly and confidently recommend NANOE membership to non-profits big and small, knowing that it is likely the best value investment they will likely make throughout their hopefully impactful existences.

As a member of NANOE, I have learned so much through the credential exams. My employer recognizes the importance of showcasing my knowledge and talents and these credentials are the PERFECT way to do just that! I have earned the CDE, CNE and CNC as a member of NANOE.
I started with NANOE as a Member of the Board of Governors. It was through this process of collaborating with fellow nonprofit colleagues, that I learned how to move forward and challenge the status quo. NANOE has given me the resources that I knew I needed but no one provided. NANOE has equipped me with knowledge, certification, and renewed my love for working with others. I am so excited to see what the next steps will be...thank you NANOE for reviving my PASSION that I thought was lost!!

This group has been spamming our email relentlessly since 2016. I have unsubscribed from every email I get and every few months, a new group of emails come in from a new domain.

I never signed up for their email list and I have called, emailed, and send various messages asking to be removed, with no success. This is a group of unethical hucksters and I would seriously question the judgement of anyone involved with such a shady practice.
