About

nphd.org The NonProfit HelpDesk (NPHD) was created in 1992 at the urging of the commissioner of the NYC Department of Youth and Community Development, who saw the need for technical assistance to strengthen nonprofit organizations throughout New York City. We are a project of the Jewish Community Council of Greater Coney Island.

Building Capacity at Community-based Nonprofits
We help build capacity at the community-based nonprofit organizations that are a vital part of the fabric of life in New York City communities. These organizations provide youth services, cooked meals, services for the homeless, local development and cultural celebration, as well as many other services. As our social safety net frays, these groups can make a critical difference in the quality of life for neighborhood residents.

Support for Nonprofits by a Nonprofit

The NPHD strengthens these organizations by providing services, education and resources in financial management, technology and in the development of leadership, organizations and programs. Our low-cost, high-quality support helps our clients stabilize their operations, and provide more and better services. We are frequently able to offer our services free of charge.

As part of a social service agency, the NonProfit HelpDesk uses our social service background to deliver holistic support with understanding, relevance and innovation.

The NonProfit HelpDesk has helped more than 900 NYC nonprofits to automate their fiscal, administrative and programmatic operations, expand their management capacities, boost staff efficiency and confidence and ultimately improve service delivery to constituents.
