Seek, Share, Swap & Give

This page is dedicated to promoting, sharing,and collaboration amongst the nonprofit community.  As they say –“One nonprofit’s trash is another nonprofit’s treasure”! Use this page to give items away, ask for items to be donated, seek input or information, and borrow or trade items in an effort to save valuable dollars. While we generally will not accept notices of items for sale, we will, as in cases of shared office space, shared staff, etc. also list services that promote efficiency and economies of scale! If you would like to list an item/service, please email SaraCollier@cnpchatt.org a short description of the item or service you wish to list along with contact information. The CNP reserves the right to refuse to list any services or items it deems not consistent with the above policy.
