Center for Nonprofit Excellence

Our nonprofits are a vital part of the local economy and contribute enormously to the character and quality of life of our region. Through the Center for Nonprofit Excellence (CNE), Berkshire Taconic helps nonprofits build more secure futures for themselves and their communities.

The CNE offers services and resources to help the staff, board and volunteers of nonprofits think strategically, govern effectively and operate efficiently.
