The Hudson Valley Nonprofit Consultants Network is a community of consultants serving the nonprofit sector in Hudson Valley. Off to a promising start!

How one great collaboration can lead to another…
To begin at the beginning:

There was Nonprofits TALK—a monthly workshop for Hudson Valley nonprofit professionals. For more than 3 years, NPT facilitated lively conversations and effective collaborations. Then a mega-collaboration began with Nonprofits TALK + the Support Center exploring what’s needed to strategically strengthen nonprofit organizations in the Hudson Valley. Susan Ragusa, NPT founder, and Tonia Papke, Support Center Leadership Council member and founder of MDI Consulting, were primary creators and organizers of this new initiative. Stronger Together kicked off in late January 2020 with a wildly successfully event that identified needs and available resources in key areas of nonprofit management and leadership in the Hudson Valley. And then … pandemic. Stronger Together went on hold. Still, the need for nonprofit resources and expertise didn’t go away. If anything, it got bigger. By spring of 2021, Susan and Tonia were again debating how to realize the Stronger Together vision of a collaborative source of expertise for nonprofits. Was the time right for a network of nonprofit consultants in the Hudson Valley to meet those resource needs? They reached out to colleagues with an invitation to convene. An interested and experienced group of consultants responded. In June 2021, Hudson Valley Nonprofit Consultants launched.

This is going to be fun.

⚾ ONE LAST GAME IN 2026! ⚾

The Kingston Guards and Rip Van Winkle Vintage Base Ball Club will meet for the final game of the 2026 season this Sunday, October 11 at Herzog Field.

First pitch is at noon, and this is your last chance to catch vintage base ball in Kingston until next spring. Whether you’ve followed the clubs all season or have been meaning to see what 1864 base ball is all about, come spend one more Sunday afternoon at the field with us.

We’ll also be collecting donations throughout the game for our friends at the Kingston Library. We’re excited to partner with the library on local baseball history projects throughout the winter and into the 2027 season.

Come out for one last afternoon of vintage base ball and help us close out a great 2026 season.
