Corporate Giving

Corporate partnerships are fundamental to NPower’s history, mission and vision. Most of NPower’s founders were senior executives from Microsoft, Accenture, JPMorgan Chase and other Fortune 500 companies. Their goal was to help the nonprofit sector gain the enormous new capabilities that information technology had brought to their own businesses—and begin using them to improve the quality of life in every community.

Today, NPower continues to partner with a broad range of IT industry leaders as well as other major corporations and firms in the financial, legal, media and entertainment sectors. With their support, we have begun delivering on our core mission — helping nonprofits use IT to deliver much better on their own.

Along the way, NPower’s twelve local affiliates—now led by a flagship affiliate in New York—have made it possible for nonprofits all across the U.S. to educate more children; strengthen and preserve more families; and protect and care for more of the disabled, elderly and vulnerable.

We invite your company to join us. This overview highlights the types and levels of corporate partnership opportunities available with the NPower Network. For further information, please write to corporate@npower.org, or call us at 212.564.7010.
