About Nonprofit Staten Island - Nonprofit Staten Island

Celebrating 20 Years of Empowering Staten Island’s Nonprofits

Nonprofit Staten Island represents over 150 member organizations, ranging from cultural institutions and faith-based groups to health care providers, senior and youth service organizations, and local community groups. Since 2005, we have provided resources, advocacy, and support to help nonprofits thrive as vital service providers, employers, and community leaders across Staten Island.

Through year-round workshops, coalition-building, affinity groups, networking opportunities, and resource sharing, we equip nonprofits with the tools and connections they need to grow, innovate, and serve diverse communities effectively. Our mission is to foster collaboration, cultural responsiveness, and inclusive community building across Staten Island and the broader New York City nonprofit sector.

A New Era for Nonprofit Staten Island

In 2022, we rebranded from Staten Island Not for Profit Association (SINFPA) to Nonprofit Staten Island, unveiling a new name, logo, and website to reflect our renewed commitment to the borough’s nonprofit community. “Unveiling our new identity is about more than rebranding; it’s about restrategizing to ensure every Staten Island voice is heard and served,” said Executive Director Tatiana Arguello.

This milestone is also a celebration of our ongoing dedication to creating spaces where Staten Islanders can contribute with dignity, pride, and respect, building a stronger, more connected community for everyone.
