📢 We're excited to share some big news!

The North Dakota Association of Nonprofit Organizations (NDANO) has hired its first-ever full-time executive director, Kayla Deitch.

This important step forward was made possible through an $80,000 grant from the National Council of Nonprofits and will help NDANO expand its support for the 5,000+ nonprofit organizations serving communities across North Dakota.

From rural towns to our largest cities, nonprofits play a critical role in strengthening our state. This investment allows NDANO to increase its capacity to connect organizations, provide resources, advocate for the sector, and support the incredible people working to make a difference every day.

Please join us in welcoming Kayla as we begin this exciting new chapter for NDANO and North Dakota's nonprofit community.

NDANO also extends its gratitude to Clearwater Communications for more than a decade of partnership. Their management and support helped build the foundation that makes this exciting transition possible.

We'd love to hear from you!

What opportunities and challenges do you see ahead for nonprofits in North Dakota?
