Who We Are

Third Sector New England provides management and leadership resources to help nonprofits support healthy, just communities. With a staff of dedicated non-profit professionals, TSNE is an effective fiscal sponsor, convener, consultant and grantmaker, offering a unique blend of capacity-building programs and services. Our work also complements that of the funding community and other capacity builders.  

Founded in 1959 as the Massachusetts Health Research Institute, we have expanded our programs over the past half century to serve nonprofits throughout New England and New York (as a fiscal sponsor). Our training, publications, and both online and print resources reach a national audience. And we are part of numerous national collaborations, often working across sectors, to increase the knowledge, power and effectiveness of the non-profit community.
