    Center for Non-Profits' Op Ed on Property Tax Exemptions

    Non-profit organizations in Monmouth County are expressing growing concerns about efforts by some municipal and state officials to explore ways to impose property taxes or payments in lieu of taxes as a way of raising revenue from local organizations.

    The May 4, 2012, edition of NJBIZ includes the Center's opinion piece outlining our problems with this proposal. You can access it online here, or download the text of our submission at www.njnonprofits.org/PropTaxOpEd_NJBIZ_05042012.pdf .

    We will keep you posted for new developments about this important issue.


    Increased Non-Profit Advocacy Resources Coming to New Jersey!

Because the Center for Non-Profits is part of the State Association Network of the National Council of Nonprofits, we now will be able to put CLPI's powerful resources to work for nonprofits here in New Jersey.
