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 Richard Benz from the Staten Island Museum. Congratulations and thank you for your service! Richard is an incredible volunteer whose dedication and service to our community make a lasting impact. After a successful career as a medical editor in the advertising and pharmaceutical sectors, Richard embraced the spirit of volunteerism in his retirement. He began by volunteering at a local church food pantry and later joined a community garden. In 2016, Richard took the next step in his journey and began volunteering at the **Staten Island Museum**, where he has since served as a docent, copyeditor, and special event volunteer. His hard work and positive energy have made him an invaluable part of the Museum team. Richard’s passion for his volunteer work shines through in his interactions with visitors, which he says are the most rewarding part of the experience. He loves greeting guests and sharing stories about the Museum’s exhibits and Snug Harbor’s rich history. NPSI celebrates Volunteer Month 🌟 Community Service Awards Staten Island
