MANGO is a CNMI nonprofit established in 2010 in response to a critical need to provide the nonprofit community of the CNMI with guidance on how to register a nonprofit organization with the CNMI and federal governments, obtain tax-exempt status, pursue funding opportunities, and to give the nonprofit sector a collective voice in the community and at local, regional and international forums. MANGO is recognized locally and regionally as the official umbrella organization for nonprofits in the CNMI.<\/p>\n
MANGO\u2019s long-term goal is to provide leadership and technical assistance for nonprofit organizations in the CNMI.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOur objective is to ensure that existing and new nonprofits become financially independent and self-sufficient,\u201d said the group in a recent news release.<\/p>\n
To help in those endeavors, MANGO can be the administrative\u00a0arm\u00a0for nonprofit members, so that they can focus their energies and resources\u00a0on providing programs and services to our community.<\/p>\n
\u201cMANGO\u2014with community partners\u2014will support and empower nonprofits as they take on leadership roles. We will work in flexible groupings that pool our collective strength to face the defining challenges of our time,\u201d the news release added.
