Organizational Membership
BNID's membership program brings together organizations from across the Greater Boston area to support deeper connection and exchange. Our thriving community serves as a bridge between funders and INGOs who are concerned with issues of international development and global justice.
Membership is open to nonprofit organizations, funders, consulting groups, advocacy organizations, universities, and more.
Together with our members, we cultivate a range of workshops, resources, and discussion spaces designed to support more impactful programs, a thriving workforce, and overall organizational health. This includes member-identified priorites such as board development, fundraising, skills-based trainings, roundtable discussions on current events, and more.
Our membership program also fosters more robust relationships among Boston-based international NGOs and seeks to break down siloes across sectors and geographies.
