Maine Nonprofit Day

Every day, Mainers rely on nonprofits to nurture our minds, protect our environment, inform our government, educate our children, and drive our economy–all while investing significant financial and human resources throughout the state.

Together we can:

• prepare to participate fully in the formation of public policy that impacts the communities they serve
• increase policymaker awareness of nonprofits and their vital contributions to Maine’s economy and way of life
• strengthen relationships between nonprofit leaders and public officials

2023 Nonprofit Day

We’re excited to bring back Nonprofit Day at the State House! 

On Tuesday, June 6, nonprofit staff are invited to join us in the Hall of Flags for a chance to connect and network, and get a closer look at the State House. 

Whether you’re a seasoned lobbyist, or you haven’t been to the State House since elementary school, you’ll have a chance to deepen your advocacy engagement at Nonprofit Day.

This is an updated format from past years and will not include exhibit tables. Space is limited, so please let us know you'll be joining us!

History of Nonprofit Day

Starting in 2004, MANP hosted Maine Nonprofit Day to showcase the work and worth of nonprofits and their vital contributions to Maine’s economy and quality of life. After a hiatus from an in-person gathering, 2023 Nonprofit Day will continue our goal of hosting a day to collectively raise awareness for the work and worth of Maine's nonprofit sector.
