Resources
As a hub for nonprofit professional development, we must keep our community connected despite the distance. As our communities navigate the effects of the pandemic, we put together a list of vendors and resources for you to utilize. Whether your organization is operating in-person for essential services or fully remote, we hope this may provide some support. Below these resources, we also have a job board for Hive members seeking new hires.
