Stronger Nonprofits, Stronger Washington Communities
Connecting, equipping, and advocating for nonprofits across Washington State from Seattle's South End.
Connecting, equipping, and advocating for nonprofits across Washington State from Seattle's South End.
The Nonprofit Association of Washington operates from Seattle's 98108 corridor, a working neighborhood that reflects the very communities its member organizations serve every day. NAW exists because running a nonprofit is genuinely hard work, and no organization should have to figure it out alone. The association brings together nonprofits of every size and mission, from small neighborhood mutual-aid groups to statewide advocacy organizations, under one roof of shared resources and collective voice.
What sets NAW apart is its dual commitment to practical capacity-building and systemic change. On any given week, the association might be helping a rural food bank strengthen its board governance while simultaneously representing the nonprofit sector before state legislators in Olympia. That combination of on-the-ground support and policy-level influence is rare, and it is what members consistently point to when describing the value of belonging.
With a 5-star rating from members who have experienced its work firsthand, NAW has built a reputation grounded in responsiveness and genuine sector expertise. If your organization is based in Washington and working toward a mission-driven future, this is the association built to help you get there.
NAW delivers support across the full lifecycle of nonprofit leadership. Members gain access to professional development programming, including trainings on financial management, HR compliance, fundraising strategy, and board effectiveness. These are not generic workshops repackaged from the corporate world; they are designed specifically for the legal, financial, and operational realities nonprofits face.
Beyond training, the association provides policy advocacy at the state level, ensuring that Washington's lawmakers hear from the nonprofit sector before decisions are made that affect it. Members also benefit from peer networks and cohort-based learning opportunities that connect executive directors, development staff, and board members with colleagues navigating similar challenges.
For organizations at inflection points, whether launching, restructuring, or scaling, NAW offers resources to help leaders make informed decisions. The address at 5601 6th Ave S, Suite 150 serves as a hub where the sector's practical needs and strategic ambitions meet.
