NONPROFIT STATEN ISLAND UNVEILS ITS REBRAND AND CELEBRATES A NEW ERA OF COMMUNITY BUILDING, COMMUNITY VOICE, AND COMMUNITY RESPONSE
Nonprofit Staten Island, formerly known as SINFPA, celebrates the public unveiling of their rebranding, including an enhanced website and stunning new logo, as it continues to distinguish the sector and borough in stronger and more unique ways.
Nonprofit Staten Island is committed to building the capacity of Staten Island nonprofit leaders and strengthening our sector through communication, collaboration, and coalition building. Placing an emphasis on supporting Staten Island nonprofits in being forward-thinking, the organization has set to work on not just rebranding but restrategizing the association and the ways it serves its membership and our borough’s communities.
As we move into an important new era together, Nonprofit Staten Island centers, supports, and reasserts the excellence and importance of local nonprofits. Staten Island nonprofit organizations are a powerful force of providers and professionals delivering critical services to our communities. Each organization serves through community building, community voice, and community response, and our association is proud to share these three pillars and core values as we bring together best practices and lessons learned to drive a better collective future.
We thank our members, community leaders, and neighbors for joining us in the important work that will propel our community forward. Together, we set the bar for quality of life and a brighter future in our communities. Nonprofit Staten Island celebrates this important moment of recommitment to the work of creating a culture and a space where Staten Islanders can see themselves working – with dignity, with respect and pride – in the borough that they love and live in.
“As a young Latina Executive Director, I come in with a vision of intersectionality because in order for us to thrive as an Island we need to move forward collectively. Unveiling our new name, logo, and website is about more than just rebranding; it’s about restrategizing to best fulfill our ongoing commitment to ensure that all Staten Island voices are heard and served. Here’s to our nonprofits. Here’s to Staten Island. Here’s to Nonprofit Staten Island! ” – Tatiana Arguello, Executive Director

🌟 **Celebrating Volunteer Month: Recognizing an Unsung Hero!** 🌟 Today’s Unsung Hero and 2025 CSA honoree is Lisa Vega Congratulations! We proudly recognize Lisa Vega as one of our Unsung Heroes during Volunteer Month. Lisa, the Co-Founder of Lo'Cal-Ly United For Change, Community Ambassador at The Village – A Chance In Life, and a dedicated advocate with the American Cancer Society, was recently honored with the Nonprofit Staten Island Community Service Award. After surviving an aggressive breast cancer diagnosis while caring for her son with autism and her husband recovering from a massive stroke, Lisa found her calling in giving back to the very community that once lifted her up. From escorting strangers to doctor’s appointments, organizing food and clothing drives, to launching initiatives that support families facing hardship, She leads with heart, funds projects from her own pocket, and never stops finding new ways to uplift those around her. Lisa’s motto says it all: “A village of strangers took my family under their wings during my greatest time of need, and now I have to give back to others in need.” NPSI celebrates Volunteer Month 🌟 Community Service Awards Staten Island

🌟 **Celebrating Volunteer Month: Recognizing an Unsung Hero!** 🌟 Today’s Unsung Hero and 2025 CSA honoree is Giovanella Stewart Well done! Well deserved! Congratulations! 🌟 **Celebrating Volunteer Month: Honoring Our Unsung Hero** 🌟 This April, during Volunteer Month, we proudly shine a light on someone who exemplifies what it means to serve with heart and humility, Giovanella Stewart, the incredible Communications Specialist at Person Centered Care Services (PCCS). For the past three years, Giovanella has been the quiet force behind so much of PCCS's work, ensuring that our mission and values are shared meaningfully across every platform. Whether she's crafting messages or coordinating events, she does it all with grace, intention, and a deep commitment to uplifting others. Giovanella's selflessness is more than just part of her job — it's who she is. At recent PCCS event, she gave up her seat time and time again, making sure everyone else was taken care of before herself. That’s the kind of person she is: always thinking of others first, never looking for recognition, yet always deserving of it. Thank you, Giovanella, for being the heart of PCCS.
