We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Aberdeen, Maryland. Since 2016, we’ve furnished more than 1,950 homes and helped over 5,700 people begin again with hope.

Format

Meetings are One Hour Long:

Mingle with Members & Guests — The greeting starts before the meeting starts. Use this time to connect with fellow members and welcome guests. These are the relationships that stick. — 15 Minutes

Introductions — A quick roundtable: name and business, nothing more. The nonprofit representative closes the round and sets the stage for what comes next. — 5 Minutes

Advisory Session — This is where the room earns its seat at the table. The host nonprofit brings a real challenge or opportunity, and members respond not as an audience — but as trusted advisors. The result is genuine value for the organization and the kind of credibility that only comes from doing, not just showing up. — 30 Minutes

Wrap-Up & Commitments — The facilitator pulls the thread together. Members leave with clear takeaways and, for those who want to go further, the opportunity to make a follow-up commitment. — 10 Minutes

Join Us

Thanks for your interest in our group!

Starting at $25 per month, NANA membership is priced to be accessible to any professional who wants to participate — not just those with a corporate expense account or a generous employer. The low barrier is intentional. A NANA Group is most valuable when the room reflects the full breadth of the business community: the solo consultant alongside the regional bank VP, the independent contractor alongside the marketing director. Diverse professional perspectives make for better advisory conversations — and more interesting relationships.

  • Standard Group Membership - $25/Month or $300/Year

  • Premium Group Membership - $50/Month or $600/Year

  • Group Sponsorship - $1,000/Year
