Nonprofit Center of the Berkshires, Cambridge Nonprofit Coalition and MetroWest Nonprofit Network have teamed up on an exciting new initiative! The Commonwealth Benefits Collaborative (CBC) brings affordable health insurance to the nonprofit sector through the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The CBC helps Massachusetts nonprofits get affordable coverage by pooling collective buying power — while each organization still sets up its own plan.

Interested or want to help make this possible? Fill out a brief census form with information about your nonprofit. You are not making any commitment at this time; data lets the broker, Acrisure, gather pricing.
