Membership Discounts + Scholarships
MANP is committed to ensuring membership dues are not a barrier to joining and remaining part of the network. In addition to our sliding scale dues pricing, we offer scholarships and hardship discounts to meet any budget.

Free Introductory Memberships
As part of our equity commitment, MANP strives to welcome, support and learn alongside nonprofits who are new to our network as we believe that a diverse range of voices, perspectives, and teachings is vital to a healthy nonprofit sector.
If our sliding scale dues structure is a barrier, we offer a limited number of scholarships for two years of free MANP membership!
To be eligible for these scholarships, your nonprofit must meet three criteria. If your nonprofit is 1) not a current MANP member and 2) a core part of your organization's mission is to advance equity for marginalized communities and meets one or more of the following criteria for scholarship, please reach out:
- Your organization is headquartered in a rural community
- Your organization’s annual operating expenses are less than $750,000
- Your organization received its 501(c)(3) or 501(c)(4) status in the past two years
No applications are required! Please contact membersupport@nonprofitmaine.org to indicate which criteria you meet and request a scholarship.
Hardship Discounts
If your organization is facing financial challenges this year and the typical dues amount is a barrier to joining or renewing, please reach out at membersupport@nonprofitmaine.org to discuss reduced dues options. We are committed to working with you to find a manageable dues amount. All nonprofits are eligible for hardship discounts.
Group Membership Discounts
Many arts nonprofits, land trusts, and nonprofit libraries may be eligible for subsidized memberships through MANP's partnerships.
