Strong Nonprofits. Stronger Staten Island.
Nonprofit Staten Island strengthens the organizations, leaders, and connections that power our borough.
We are the infrastructure behind Staten Island’s nonprofit sector—bringing together nonprofits, funders, businesses, government, and community leaders to build stronger organizations and stronger communities.
We equip nonprofit leaders with the tools, relationships, resources, and support they need to succeed. We create connections that unlock partnerships and solutions. And we help our sector collaborate, adapt, and respond to the changing needs of Staten Island.
Because when nonprofits are stronger, Staten Island is stronger.

Clean the Catch is about clearing up the Catch Basins of Staten Island, removing leaves and garbage so that the chances of severe flooding are decreased. Our goal is to go along some neighborhood routes to clear catch basins across Staten Island and remove a lot of the surface garbage and leaves, along with other litter, to help our catch basins from clogging. If you want to join us on this cleanup, we have plenty of dates and locations coming throughout the Fall. We will be providing all necessary supplies, including gloves, trash bags, and tools on-site. Just bring a good pair of shoes, some water, and a can-do attitude! Contact Areba Ghafoor today or register with us on Charity Quest here (link below): https://charityquest.io/questList/A459C69EF1837BFB Thank you again for dedicating your time to make a positive impact.

We can't wait to see you all later this week! Built to Last opens a little differently this year. In place of a traditional keynote, our network will spend Thursday morning together around one question: What sustains us? Because none of us does this work alone, and the lasting relationships we build across this network are essential to an ever-stronger Staten Island. Registration opens at 8:30, and we hope you'll join us at 9:30 for a facilitated networking activity, catching up with familiar faces and meeting new colleagues before the first breakout sessions begin at 10:45. Plan to stay for the full hour; it's the heart of the morning. Thank you to A Chance in Life for making this morning possible. Registration is open through Tuesday: nonprofitstatenisland.org/annual-conference (link in bio) #BuiltToLast #NonprofitStatenIsland #StatenIsland #StatenIslandNonprofits
