First Nonprofit Group will be in attendance at the New York Council of Nonprofits' thirteenth annual Camp Finance conference. The event will provide member organizations the chance to learn more about fiscal responsibility and actions they can take to become financially agile. NYCON has focused on dealing with changes to the economy, state law and public perception since its inception. The council also helps participating groups craft a forward-facing strategy that allows nonprofits to not only survive, but thrive as well. The event is scheduled to take place on October 9th and 10th at the Mohonk Mountain House in New Paltz, New York.
One area where nonprofits are often able to save money is through alternatives to traditional state unemployment insurance tax (SUTA). Instead of having to adhere to paying the tax like for-profits must do, nonprofit groups can elect to become reimbursing employers. Through this option, organizations pay out unemployment claims on a dollar-for-dollar basis, eliminating the excess loss of funds that often occurs when contributing to SUTA pools. With the help of savings and security options from First Nonprofit Group, as well as assistance in administering claims, nonprofits can realize significant savings in this area while also fully meeting their responsibility to pay out legitimate jobless claims. NYCON is itself a First Nonprofit Group partner.
A variety of keynote addresses will be offered on various financial subjects at the conference, with a focus on New York state's Nonprofit Revitalization Act as well as the impact of the Affordable Care Act on nonprofit groups. To learn more, and to sign up, follow this link.

We first started using First Nonprofit’s Unemployment Savings Program when we were a small startup nonprofit. We didn’t have an HR department and needed expertise in the event that an unemployment claim was made. We knew we were eligible to be a reimbursing employer, but weren’t sure how to navigate that process. They made it easy to set things up, plan for, and then manage claims when they came at a very reasonable cost. The amount of time and stress they’ve saved us dealing with all this has been worth way more than the cost. We’ve now grown to a large nonprofit and do have an HR department but have no plans to stop using their services. I highly recommend them to every nonprofit I come into contact with!
Throughout our membership in the Unemployment Savings Program, First Nonprofit understood our demands, community dynamics, and the importance of seamless services; that allowed us to serve our constituents better.
Because INCS advocates for the operating conditions that allow charter public schools to provide high quality public education, partnering with First Nonprofit was an easy decision. First Nonprofit’s unemployment programs provide our member schools two operating elements crucial to their ability to provide high quality public education: savings and budget certainty. Capable, committed teachers are the key to student success. By participating in the unemployment insurance savings plan, charter public schools gain peace of mind and are able to invest more money in their teachers.
It has been our sincere pleasure to maintain a strong, vibrant business partnership with First Nonprofit. We greatly admire their strong industry knowledge, technical expertise, constant professionalism, knowledgeable and dedicated staff. They are always extremely responsive, personable and provide us with the necessary guidance and recommendations on a numerous variety of employment scenarios.
NYCON members who use First Nonprofit’s programs enjoy enduring savings and improved efficiency. Our association knows that success, because from the beginning, we achieved the same great benefits. Great savings, seamless technology, and responsive service. NYCON highly recommends First Nonprofit’s remarkable unemployment solutions.
Visually Impaired Preschool Services has been a client of First Non-Profit since it was first offered as a benefit of VisionServe Alliance. We completed a thorough evaluation of cash savings to our agency before taking advantage of this wonderful benefit and it has been a very wise decision. Our experience with the processes from accounting to claims have been professional, expeditious and easy.
Luckily for us, our interactions regarding any issues with staffing has been very minimal! I can say that all other interactions with regards to billing, 941 reporting, etc. have been extremely pleasant, accommodating and easy to work with. Kim Ghanayem is always prompt, professional and friendly. Thank you so much!
