NPBC History

In 2009, two local non-profit leaders determined they wanted to learn more about each other’s organizations, and an idea was birthed. They presented their vision to unite and strengthen community nonprofits to the Ocala Chamber of Commerce (now known as the Ocala/Marion County Chamber & Economic Partnership – CEP), and the dream became reality. In 2016, the CEP offered the opportunity to the Community Foundation to take over operations of the NPBC. Since that time, membership has grown to more than 100 non-profit partners and continues to increase.
