opportunities for NYC artists and NYC audiences to learn grow and connect through music. We are built on four pillars that we believe are crucial to incorporate into our community; we champion the unheard voices within opera, we are a community for New York City artist, we are redefining opera, and we make opera affordable and accessible for everyone.

New York, NY, August 5, 2019 – Looking for some inspiration in the daily grind of nonprofit management? Nonprofit New York has chosen 13 organizations as semifinalists in its 2019 Nonprofit Excellence Awards.
NYCharities.org Updates
You may have heard by now some news about a popular online donation platform called NYCharities.org. It appears that the organization lost its charitable status in August of 2018, and it had taken down its website in late June or July. Our members have reported that they have not been able to get in touch with NYCharities.
Girls for Gender Equity President and Founder Talks About Working to End Gender and Racial Inequity
Taïna Sanon, Membership Manager at Nonprofit New York met with Joanne Smith, President and Founder of Girls for Gender Equity, a member organization of Nonprofit New York.
Nonprofit New York will continue to highlight the work of our members, like Girls for Gender Equity, because we believe that when your nonprofit is stronger, all of us are stronger.
What you need to know about your Directors and Officers (D&O) Liability Insurance coverage
It’s me again, your Membership Manager at Nonprofit New York (formerly NPCC). Back in April 2019 we sent a message to our members about changes to our D&O insurance offerings. This is to remind you, our members, of a couple things we need you to know and do next:
Your policy with Hiscox will be canceled this year!
Hiscox is no longer renewing the policies they hold for our members. You did nothing wrong! All that means is we are moving your policy from Hiscox to Philadelphia Indemnity Company. Next steps are outlined below.
NPCC is now Nonprofit New York
NPCC is now Nonprofit New York! Our name has changed, but our work to strengthen and unite New York’s nonprofits remains the same.
NPCC’s Declaration of Nonprofit Rights
We are thrilled to launch NPCC’s Declaration of Nonprofit Rights. The Declaration of Nonprofit Rights is NPCC’s bold vision for a powerful nonprofit sector. It is NPCC’s North Star, the guiding principles that form the basis of our worldview of the sector’s needs and potentials, and in turn, guide our day-to-day public policy work to meet those needs and potential.
The Declaration articulates NPCC’s understanding, through the four principles, of what nonprofits must have in order to be engaged and effective.
The rights-based language is intentional, and provides an aspirational vision that we will work to achieve.
The Declaration is not a call to action; it is action.

A Year of Challenges for Charitable Nonprofits
Businesses and governments in New York and across the country rely on charitable nonprofits to help build the communities we want and address critical needs of all New Yorkers. These charitable organizations rely on steady funding and stable laws and policies to advance their missions and be the reliable partner that businesses and governments expect. This January, as nonprofits evaluate the past year while looking ahead to 2019, uncertainty and change are the only constants; the outcomes of public policy challenges in the coming months will tip the difference in whether nonprofits will have secure resources and sound policies that allow us to partner with the government and business sectors to create a healthy society in New York.
