Who We Are

Nonprofit Partners for Prosperity (NP3) was created to bring nonprofit sector representation, perspective and participation to the Puget Sound Regional Council's Prosperity Partnership, a coalition of regional community leaders who have come together to collaborate on a unified economic agenda for the benefit of the entire region. NP3 is comprised of representatives from nonprofits throughout the four-county Puget Sound region. To see a complete list, you can find our members and contributors. For more background on NP3 click here.

Many thanks to The Boeing Company for their generous $20,000 contribution.

What We Do

NP3 prioritizes, plans and implements the action items laid out in our Social Capital and Quality of Life Foundation Initiative. Social capital is a key economic foundation, as important to the economy as other factors such as the availability of capital and a well-trained workforce. By developing and deploying social capital we join two imperatives: economic competitiveness and commonly accepted social values.

Our Foundation Initiative includes a workplan for addressing issues that affect the entire region - from affordable housing to arts and culture to environmental concerns. Upcoming Agenda
