Non-Profit Committee

Non-Profit Committee Strategic Plan 2012

Purpose:

To provide resources, guidance and visibility that encourages and supports Meadowlands area non-profits while simultaneously connecting business with community based organizations that provide critical services as well as purchase goods and services from area businesses.

Vision:

The vision of the MRCC Non-Profits Committee is “Giving back: Connecting you, Business and Community.”

The members of this committee want to actively implement an outreach program to the MRCC’s non-profit members to assure that they derive the full benefits of their membership in the Meadowlands Regional Chamber of Commerce. Our vision is to accomplish this by providing both formal and informal collaboration between the MRCC’s general membership and non-profit members in the form of seminars and joint events with other committees. An additional objective is to increase awareness among MRCC member organizations of the economic value that non-profits bring to the Meadowlands area relative to the number of jobs they provide, the value of the goods and services they purchase locally, etc.

Mission Statement:

The Non-Profit Committee’s  mission is  to unite the non-profit organizations of the MRCC, support their many good causes, and strengthen their business and collaborative relationships with the MRCC’s “for profit” membership.

Values:

The Non-Profit Committee recognizes that non-profits are a valuable asset to both communities and businesses. We understand the economic impact that the committee members and other Meadowlands area non-profits have by providing services to the region and employment for area residents, as well as purchasing services and goods from Meadowlands Region businesses.

Goals/Projects:

To increase the direct involvement of the MRCC’s non-profit members with the organization and to stimulate the interaction and collaboration between the MRCC’s non-profit and “for profit” members.

To hold an Annual Non-Profit After Hours Networking Event perhaps jointly with other MRCC Committees.

To provide educational seminars and workshops that focus on strengthening non-profit organizations and foster collaborative relationships with the MRCC’s “for profit” membership. These programs will be run with the assistance of other MRCC Committees as well as outside speakers.

To act as a Resource for both the MRCC’s Non-Profit members, as well as the rest of the MRCC’s membership, by fostering opportunities to collaborate and to implement mutually beneficial relationships and interaction.
