New expense reduction and management program gives nonprofits access to exclusive vendor pricing, pre-negotiated discounts, and consultative savings expertise — at no cost to join
CHICAGO, IL — First Nonprofit (FNP), a leading provider of financial solutions for nonprofit organizations, government entities, and Tribal enterprises, today announced the launch of FNPadvantage, a new expense reduction and management program designed exclusively to help nonprofits lower the cost of the supplies and services they rely on every day. The program is led by Isaac Farbowitz, a highly experienced professional recruited specifically to bring consultative expertise and hands-on guidance to First Nonprofit’s growing membership base.
Through a network of trusted vendor partners and negotiated savings programs, FNPadvantage leverages collective buying power to give nonprofits access to discounts, preferred pricing, and cost-saving opportunities across more than ten categories — including food and beverage, office supplies, technology, professional services, shipping and logistics, facilities and maintenance, and energy. The program is available at no cost to all current First Nonprofit clients who now automatically gain access to FNPadvantage and its nationwide portfolio of supplier and service discounts. There is no cost to join, no application required and no minimum levels to meet.
According to Isaac, “At FNPadvantage, we believe every dollar counts, because every dollar saved is another dollar that can be used to help a nonprofit’s mission. Over the last 15-years I have worked with thousands of clients to help them reduce costs and could not be more excited to now devote all of my efforts to the nonprofit sector”.
Unlike a standard group purchasing organization (GPO) affiliation, First Nonprofit took a deliberate approach to building FNPadvantage from the ground up. The organization hired Isaac specifically to lead the program and serve FNP members with direct, consultative expertise — working closely with each organization to identify the best opportunities for cost reduction using the same or comparable vendors they already trust. Nonprofits interested in learning more or requesting a no-obligation savings evaluation are encouraged to visit firstnonprofit.com/fnpadvantage.

PORT Health Services has had a great experience with the Unemployment Savings Program offered through First Nonprofit. Throughout the years we have been involved in the program, we have increased our reserve account significantly through this program and find the reporting we receive both timely and useful. We look forward to our continued involvement with this program and our connection with First Nonprofit for many years to come.
Job One was spending a lot of money on unemployment. Our insurance broker, Mark Simcosky, recommended that we switch over to First Nonprofit. We did just that! This switch has been a huge savings for us! This switch saved us over $10,000 in the first year. Their customer service is Superior! Any time we have a question, we get a response very quickly. Any time we send them a report and they have a question; they call rather than just assuming. They were very responsive during COVID, even when they were in crisis mode their selves. They also were always there when we needed during COVID and very helpful! We would 1,000% recommend First Nonprofit to anybody that could benefit from it!
My experience with FNP has always been positive. Every time I have had to contact them, I’m always put in contact with a friendly and knowledgeable person. If something is missing from our account, they reach out to us to request it. It’s nice to work with a company that makes sure our account is current. I would recommend them to any nonprofit looking to reduce their unemployment insurance costs.
We’ve saved tens of thousands of dollars PER YEAR by changing to become a reimbursing employer, freeing funds for much needed capital investment. FNP has been a valued partner in this process, providing assurance that we have stopgap coverage for extraordinary claims and keeping claims response painless and simple. It’s a huge Win/Win!
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!
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.
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.
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.
