First Nonprofit Group will offer valuable information about its services to members of Pennsylvania's Rehabilitation and Community Provider's Association at the organization's annual conference in early October. The conference, scheduled to begin Tuesday, October 7 and run through Friday, October 10, will take place at the Seven Springs Mountain Resort in Champion, Pennsylvania. Members of the RCPA will be able to interact with a wide variety of vendors that have products and services to aid nonprofits, engage in dialog with fellow groups, attend talks and workshops, and work toward the conference theme: "Together… One."
The RCPA's goal for this year's conference is to create a heightened sense of community amongst the health and human services organizations that make up its membership. A focus on changing state laws and what those new regulations mean for members will be provided. Additionally, workshops and meeting sessions focused on cultivating and maintaining passion in the field, as well as working toward positive change, will also be a priority. The 55 different workshops will provide useful learning and networking experiences for organizations of all types and sizes.
First Nonprofit Group will be on hand to demonstrate how nonprofit organizations can save money and handle their fiscal responsibilities by becoming reimbursing employers. Following this strategy, organizations stop paying into state unemployment tax (SUTA) pools and compensate any jobless claims on a dollar-for-dollar basis – a decision that often leads to reduced financial obligations for nonprofits. With the savings and insurance plans offered by First Nonprofit Group, organizations can make sure they have the funds on hand to compensate legitimate unemployment claims while also freeing up money to be used in other areas of operations.
For information on how your organization can cost-effectively meet its unemployment insurance needs, contact First Nonprofit Group at FNCUI@firstnonprofit.com or visit www.firstnonprofitgroup.com.

We’ve been a member of First Nonprofit’s Unemployment Savings Program since 2011 and highly recommend joining. The program is terrific and allows us to earn interest on our own funds while still meeting the state’s requirements on unemployment payments. In addition, the staff are great and always helpful sorting out any questions we may have. Thank you all!
CCSCT was approached by First NonProfit to discuss its Unemployment Savings Program and ways the program could significantly reduce the amount of unemployment taxes we were paying. At the time, our agency was paying approximately $80,000 per year. First NonProfit conducted an analysis to determine if making the switch would be in our best interest, and it clearly was based on our circumstances. The first year on the program, CCSCT saw a 70% reduction in its unemployment costs and each year, continues to experience further reductions as a result of having minimal claims. Some additional benefits of the program including having a fixed annual cost, an interest-baring reserve account, professional unemployment claims management and representation at all unemployment hearings. This has been one of the best decisions we have made.
We first started using First Nonprofit’s Unemployment Savings Program when we were a small startup nonprofit. We didn’t have an HR department and needed expertise in the event that an unemployment claim was made. We knew we were eligible to be a reimbursing employer, but weren’t sure how to navigate that process. They made it easy to set things up, plan for, and then manage claims when they came at a very reasonable cost. The amount of time and stress they’ve saved us dealing with all this has been worth way more than the cost. We’ve now grown to a large nonprofit and do have an HR department but have no plans to stop using their services. I highly recommend them to every nonprofit I come into contact with!
Throughout our membership in the Unemployment Savings Program, First Nonprofit understood our demands, community dynamics, and the importance of seamless services; that allowed us to serve our constituents better.
Because INCS advocates for the operating conditions that allow charter public schools to provide high quality public education, partnering with First Nonprofit was an easy decision. First Nonprofit’s unemployment programs provide our member schools two operating elements crucial to their ability to provide high quality public education: savings and budget certainty. Capable, committed teachers are the key to student success. By participating in the unemployment insurance savings plan, charter public schools gain peace of mind and are able to invest more money in their teachers.
It has been our sincere pleasure to maintain a strong, vibrant business partnership with First Nonprofit. We greatly admire their strong industry knowledge, technical expertise, constant professionalism, knowledgeable and dedicated staff. They are always extremely responsive, personable and provide us with the necessary guidance and recommendations on a numerous variety of employment scenarios.

Visually Impaired Preschool Services has been a client of First Non-Profit since it was first offered as a benefit of VisionServe Alliance. We completed a thorough evaluation of cash savings to our agency before taking advantage of this wonderful benefit and it has been a very wise decision. Our experience with the processes from accounting to claims have been professional, expeditious and easy.
