Nonprofit Member Benefits

The Institute for Human Services is a leader in the regional nonprofit sector, focused on providing professional services and support for our members. In the past year, we have added several new benefits, both provided by the Institute, and now through a partnership with the state-wide New York Council on Nonprofits (formerly the Council of Community Services of New York State). Institute member organizations are eligible to receive all of the membership benefits of NYCON…at no additional cost.

IHS Membership fees help to support Institute sponsored collaborative initiatives including interagency network administration, ongoing development of management resources and services, information and referral, nonprofit technology, the Institute’s websites, as well as other capacity building resources for nonprofit organizations. We continue to bring member organizations together with those across multiple sectors to address key regional issues and to develop the shared capacities needed to be successful.
