We would like to announce the addition of Angie Cruz to the First Nonprofit team! Angie comes to us with previous experience in accounting and the nonprofit sector, having performed accounting duties in accounts payable, accounts receivable and audit requests for The Resurrection Project and the San Jose Obrero Mission. In 2010, she graduated with a Bachelor’s degree from the University of Illinois at Chicago with concentrations in English and Spanish. At FNG, Angie is responsible for processing accounts payable and wages on all of our Bonded Service program accounts.
Of her new position at FNG, Angie says “I enjoy my position at First Nonprofit. Having worked in the nonprofit sector, I appreciate the work that FNG does to help organizations take advantage of the opportunity to save money, help with cash flow, and provide other supportive services. Also, my colleagues are very knowledgeable, cooperative and welcoming which is a big part of my enjoying coming to work every day”.
Born in Guanajuato, Mexico, Angie has called Chicago home since the age of 6. She enjoys visiting Ping Tom Memorial Park in the city’s Chinatown neighborhood and is an avid runner. “I ran the Chicago Marathon in 2014 which passes through 29 Chicago neighborhoods, plus I have been running a half-marathon every year since.”

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!
First Nonprofit has been easy to work with and makes the administrative process easier and smoother. We enjoy working with you.
