About Nonprofit Staten Island

Nonprofit Staten Island

This brand represents the 150 non profit organizations that are our members. Since 2005, the Nonprofit Staten Island (formerly known as SINFPA) has provided resources, support, and advocacy for the borough’s nonprofit community. Through year-round educational workshops, coalition building, affinity group, networking opportunities and resource sharing, we strive to ensure nonprofits have what they need to continue being service providers, employers, and active members of the Staten Island community. Nonprofit Staten Island membership includes over 150 cultural institutions, faith-based organizations, health care providers, senior & youth service providers, and local community groups that provide critical services and meaningful programs for our diverse Staten Island individuals, families, communities, and neighborhoods.

Nonprofit Staten Island provides the tools, resources, and advocacy for meaningful collaboration and culturally responsive community building across the borough and New York City. We’re excited to continue facilitating communication between nonprofits, community members, and stakeholders in other sectors. We support our members and those they serve by promoting intentional and inclusive spaces to uplift the needs and experiences of our diverse communities. Through coalition-building, affinity groups, and networking opportunities, Nonprofit Staten Island is prioritizing and elevating equitable and intersectional response from the nonprofit sector to both long-standing and emerging community needs.

‘Here’s to Staten Island’: Nonprofit association ushers in new era with rebranded name and look!

Nonprofit Staten Island, formerly Staten Island Not for Profit Association (SINFPA), is ushering in a new generation of community building, collaboration and coalition with a rebranding, the organization’s leaders and board members announced during a press conference Thursday morning on the Promenade near the National Lighthouse Museum in St. George.

“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,” said our Executive Director Tatiana Arguello

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.
