Nonprofit Marketplace

 _____________________________________________________________________
It’s Easy to Save Money with the Nonprofit Marketplace

The Nonprofit Marketplace is committed to lowering the operating costs of non-profit organizations by providing nonprofits with discounted rates on their most commonly purchased goods and services.

How it Works

It’s simple!  We combine the purchasing power of many small groups into one large group that buys goods and services through a pool of quality vendors.  Because we consolidate “spend” through these vendors and purchase in larger volumes, vendors agree to deeply discount their prices.  These discounts are passed on directly to our nonprofit partners. 

Nonprofit Marketplace Vendors

Our vendors have a lot in common.  Quality products, great service, the ability to serve a wide geographic footprint, and a commitment to low prices for nonprofits.  Here are just a few of our vendors:

Office Depot               

Grainger Industrial Supply
UPS                                            
Hayworth
Work Flow One                          
HDSupply
Food Source Plus                        
Aetna
Unemployment Services Trust      
IOI Payroll Services


Savings


Savings are different for each category.  However, generally we are able to save nonprofits an average of 10-40% on items that they buy every day.  


How To Participate


Any GCN member can participate in the Nonprofit Marketplace.  Just sign up, visit the contracted vendor sites and purchase as normal using a special discount code. 


Why Do I Have To Be A Member To Participate?


GCN takes on the responsibility of negotiating vendor contracts annually, ensuring vendor compliance, providing customer services, and generally managing the program.  Members offset this management cost!
