ACN is a welcoming, collaborative community that provides nonprofit consultants the opportunity to meet prospects, collaborate with peers, and grow their business.

Through our 30 years of experience, we go beyond business—helping you build real connection and a community of coworkers, friends and mentors in diverse nonprofit practice areas so you don't have to go it alone.

Rooted in Chicago, our consultants work with mission-driven organizations across our region and beyond.
