Non-profit resources

With NCLEAC's streamlined approval process, your organization can minimize expenses, quickly and locally. Here at NCLEAC, we strive to support the growth, expansion and on-going operations of the organizations that make our community thrive. Nassau County's philanthropic and charitable organizations can look to NCLEAC as both a resource and an advocate. With our financial assistance, NCLEAC can help your organization save, so you can reinvest in your operations.

The Corporation can best achieve its mission and public purpose by (i) the judicious use of its authority to offer financial assistance to qualified applicants, and (ii) offering the expertise of the Corporation's staff and officers in economic development matters to (a) assist non-profits in relocating to the County or expanding their operations in the County, and (b) assist other governmental authorities in identifying, creating and expanding economic development opportunities within the County, particularly those related to the non-profit sector.

The philosophy and guiding principles of the Corporation are to conduct its operations in the public interest with transparency and openness for all persons and entities coming before the Corporation, including, without limitation, prospective applicants, community members, government representatives and members of affected communities.
