Welcome to the NonProfit Collaborative of Howard County!
Over several decades people in Howard County had a vision of a space for local nonprofits where they could share space and resources and collaborate to better serve the people of Howard County. Thanks to a dedicated group of nonprofit, government and community leaders led by the Association of Community Services, this vision became a reality in the spring of 2017 when the NonProfit Collaborative opened its doors. With a goal of bringing services together to enhance lives, the NPC houses 13 different organizations serving a broad range of needs.
Our normal lobby hours are Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 8 am to 5 pm and Tuesday and Thursday from 8 am to 7 pm. These hours are subject to change based on holiday schedules and inclement weather or other emergencies.
Some of our tenants are keeping limited office hours and providing services remotely. Before coming to the building please contact the office or person you want to see to confirm their availability and schedule an appointment if needed. A list of our organizations can be found here.

Autumn Abundance and Winter Wishlist Holiday Drives
October through December
A season of kindness: HopeWorks is launching our Autumn Abundance and Winter Wishlist Holiday Drives. Families who are current clients of HopeWorks sign up to be sponsored for the holidays. Community members are then ‘matched’ with a family and are provided with details such as family size and a wish list.
This year we are again asking for gift cards only. In addition to promoting health and safety, gift cards also empower our clients by allowing them to make choices about the items they wish to provide for themselves and their families. We hope you will join us to support survivors and their families this holiday season!
