Impact
Network members have strong records of accomplishment in the communities they serve. Across their broad but interconnected business lines and program initiatives, members share a common characteristic: they are the top performers and producers in the industry and in their market. They also share a common mission: to provide affordable homes, better futures and vibrant communities for working families, seniors and people with special needs.
The Network helps to strengthen the productivity and impact of these successful nonprofits. Our innovative social enterprises aggregate the power of our organizations to more effectively access critical resources such as insurance, building materials and capital.
We help members to benchmark, compare and improve their business performance through a data warehouse that contains in-depth organizational, financial and property information. As part of our STRENGTH MATTERS™ initiative, we promote policies and financial practices that enhance the sustainability and capitalization of entrepreneurial nonprofits.
