The Alabama Association of Nonprofits (AAN) was created in 1996 as the Nonprofit Resource Center of Alabama (NRCA). At the end of that year, we had 150 member organizations. By the end of 1998 NRCA had 250 member organizations, and by 2000 we had over 350. While membership dropped off during the pandemic, we are growing again with over 525 members from across Alabama.

AAN wants to encourage folks to head to the Secretary of State’s website to register to vote and learn more about the upcoming elections this fall. Independent Sector says, “While trust in nonprofits increased by 5 points to 57%, trust in other sectors — like government, business, and media — declined, leaving nonprofits the most trusted sector in the 2024 survey.” We also encourage Alabama’s trusted nonprofits to use their nonpartisan voice by sending their clients to the Secretary of State’s website, too. #thrivingdemocracy #vote #AlabamaNonprofits #educate #advocate #elevate
