Nonprofits will have a great opportunity to learn about saving money on their state unemployment insurance (SUI). Best of all, the information will be given free of charge and can be accessed from the comfort of any office. First Nonprofit Group and the the N.C. Center for Nonprofits are jointly sponsoring an educational event on how organizations in North Carolina can save on their state UI costs.
First Nonprofit has 30 years of experience helping 501(c)(3) and governmental organizations save money by becoming reimbursing employers. As a reimbursing employer, nonprofits owe state unemployment agencies only the amount that is actually paid out to former employees following UI claims. Opting out of state tax pools allows nonprofits to avoid the variable costs, overpayments and socialized costs that are built into SUI programs.
SUI costs have been increasing throughout the country since the Great Recession and the cost per employee in North Carolina has increased $146 – 42 percent – since 2010. The webinar will provide valuable, state-specific information for North Carolina nonprofits that are considering opting out of state tax pools, including information on the changes to unemployment benefits and tax rates. All attendees will receive a copy of First Nonprofit Group's "Fundraising: A partnership between Board and Staff," booklet at no cost.
First Nonprofit Group can help North Carolina organizations save money with minimal risk
While the majority of nonprofits can save substantially on their UI costs by electing to become reimbursing employers, the election does come with some risks. Simply becoming a reimbursing employer does not provide any protection against sudden unemployment claims filed against an employer. Without the backing of a SUI trust fund to cover the costs, a nonprofit can be forced to cut programs to pay these claims, putting the organization at risk for even greater unemployment.
First Nonprofit Group offers organizations membership in different UI programs that allow them the cost saving benefits of becoming a reimbursing employer with much less risk. The free webinar will be held on May 1 from 11 a.m. – noon EST. To register, nonprofits can complete the following form and fax it to (312) 239 – 6368. For more information, call (800) 526-4532, ext. 398398. First Nonprofit Group Program members in North Carolina have already saved a total of more than $5.9 million since 2004.

First Nonprofit has saved us so much money over the state’s program. We had one little glitch with the state recently and we contacted FNP immediately. FNP staff called us back immediately and moved to remedy the problem.
First Nonprofit has been a great partner. They have helped us saved hundreds of thousands of dollars! They have awesome resources for our nonprofit organization. Thanks for the partnership.
Life is certainly busy these days but having business partners like First Nonprofit has made some of the process hassle free. We have worked with this team for years. When we changed payroll systems, they outlined every step. I think this team is terrific and I know they get the job done! Thank you, Cruz, to all the team at FNP.
FNP has helped our agency to save thousands of dollars every year on our unemployment coverage. The service is phenomenal, and we are thankful to their team as our partner. My experience working with Marshall on the advocacy around UE for nonprofits was also a highlight as someone who teaches advocacy and lobbying for nonprofits. Really, your whole team is top shelf, so thank YOU!
Chicago Children’s Theatre has greatly benefited from our partnership with First Nonprofit, and I have always enjoyed working with the staff on our filings and any complicated questions. I would not hesitate to recommend First Nonprofit to fellow nonprofits. We’re very happy customers.
FNP is a great resource for Daniel Kids. To have a TPA that we can count on to take point on not only managing our unemployment claims, but to support and guide any protest hearing, is invaluable. All the professional support staff we have worked with have been excellent, very knowledgeable and responsive. We are grateful for the help and support, thank you.
When I first began in my position at my organization, I hadn’t had experience working with a company like FNP. The staff was so patient and helpful in helping to explain the benefits of First Nonprofit. Anytime I reach out with a question I receive a quick, clear, and thorough response. I’m so thankful that we decided to partner with FNP. Their excellence in customer service, coupled with their variety of packages frees us up to truly serve our staff and community with a peace of mind knowing that our organization is protected against unanticipated unemployment insurance expenses.
First Nonprofit gets an A+ in my book. You are so easy to work with & very knowledgeable! Whether it is my quarterly correspondence with Kim or my random interactions with Dawn about a bond … I am so pleased that I get to work with such a helpful company. Thank you!
