About NPO
Origin Story
We created Nonprofit Operations (NPO) to transform how nonprofit finance, human resources, operations, and executive director job seekers find meaningful, sustainable, and values-aligned work. Born from our success creating and running recruiting programs and our weekly LinkedIn newsletter, NPO’s job portal is designed to empower job seekers to align their personal values with their professional ambitions.
As professionals with a combined 30+ years of experience in this field, we have a proven track record of creating robust recruitment programs that support best-in-class workplaces. Together, we have sourced 1,573 candidates from diverse backgrounds and skill sets to hire seven full time employees over 18 months. Based on this experience, we reimagined how recruitment could be more effective and transparent for job seekers and nonprofit organizations, and identified what kind of resource would make the process better for both.
NPO’s first offering is our first-of-its-kind job portal, where we aim to transform how nonprofit operations, human resources, and finance job seekers find meaningful and sustainable work—raising the bar for transparency, justice, and equity across the nonprofit sector.
