Creating a nonprofit blended family
When NPower was founded in 1999, technology was something that came in boxes or required hours of writing code. While some of this is still relevant, we are also the generation of “there’s an app for that!” More and more powerful tools are ubiquitous, easy to use, and available at a low cost. This change has also been reflected in NPower’s approach to working with nonprofits. We were left wondering how to transform ourselves into an organization that could serve you and all your needs. Click through to learn about our exciting evolution...
NPower Northwest is now a part of the new 501 Commons blended family!
No more tech silos!

Multiplying life by the power of two
That search led us to 501 Commons. Long respected in the sector as a leader in capacity building and the first stop for nonprofit information and referrals, 501 Commons is the lemon to our lime, the peanut butter to our chocolate. By combining forces, 501 Commons can bring in volunteer consultants from the service corps, at below market rates, to help provide your nonprofit with a strategic plan, leadership training, or board development. Once in place those strategies will help streamline and prioritize your technology decisions, which means better websites, database and IT for everyone!
So what does that mean for you?
Our end goal is to make this transition as seamless and painless for our clients, supporters and you, as possible. Last week we completed the big move as we relocated to the 501 Commons offices in Lower Queen Anne. Now we are on to the larger work of merging websites, social media, databases, etc. We'll keep you updated along the way, and thank you for joining with us in this transition.
