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

In Solidarity

The Staff of the Nonprofit Staten Island is united against racism, hatred, and violence. Our commitment to building the strength of our nonprofit communities and leaders is as strong as our commitment to peace, quality, and justice. We grieve the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, Tony McDade, and the countless other Black lives lost at the hands of law enforcement.

Like every other business, nonprofits have rent, payroll, and program costs. But unlike other industries, the City takes months, even years, to pay us. 🕒 Nonprofits can’t run on passion alone - we need timely payments. Let’s pass Int. 1247, 1248, and 1249 to help the City #PayNonprofitsOnTime!

Passion fuels our work, but it doesn’t pay the bills. Timely payments do. 🕒 Nonprofits deserve to be paid on time for our essential work, like every other industry. Let’s #PayNonprofitsOnTime and pass Int. 1247, 1248, and 1249.

📉Over 90% of the City’s human services contracts are registered late—delaying payments and putting nonprofits, workers, and communities at risk. Passion keeps us going, but it doesn’t keep the lights on.

🌟 **Celebrating Volunteer Month: Recognizing an Unsung Hero!** 🌟 Today’s Unsung Hero and 2025 CSA honoree is Dorothy Weems of Central Family Life Center. Dorothy Weems, is a woman of service, leadership, and unwavering dedication to her community. A U.S. Air Force veteran, licensed real estate broker, and passionate advocate for diversity and inclusion, Dorothy brings that same commitment to her volunteer work. Since 2017, she has played a vital role at the Central Family Life Center, supporting the Taekwondo Program and the Michael Hines Saturday Academy. As a volunteer assistant, she’s impacted the lives of hundreds of children—tutoring in core academic subjects and instilling the values of Courtesy, Integrity, Perseverance, Self-Control, and Indomitable Spirit through martial arts instruction. Dorothy’s presence is more than support—it’s mentorship, inspiration, and empowerment. Whether she’s helping a child understand a math problem or guiding a class through a Taekwondo lesson, she does so with patience, and purpose. We are proud to celebrate Dorothy as a true Unsung Hero and the recipient of the Nonprofit Staten Island Community Service Award. Thank you for being a beacon of light, Dorothy!
