Our Mission: To develop and promote an effective and vibrant charitable nonprofit community throughout New York State.  New York Council of Nonprofits (NYCON) will strengthen organizational capacity, be an advocate and unifying voice, inform philanthropic giving, and conducting research to demonstrate impact.

NYCON works together with our members and funders to enrich communities by building the capacity of nonprofits through services and advocacy. We believe our mission is most effectively fulfilled through a commitment to diversity and inclusion as a core value and practice.
