Strengthening Nonprofits.
Enhancing Northern
Nevada. By Aha Projects.

A modern, new nonprofit space designed to help organizations grow and collaborate, while strengthening our region.

Responding to findings from the 2024 Nonprofit Capacity Landscape Analysis (NCLA), AHA Projects initiated AHA Connects to address under-resourcing and overextension, two critical fault zones that plague nonprofits. These systemic weaknesses dog nonprofits both nationally and regionally. Nonprofit failure rates range from 12% to 15% for agencies operating less than five years.

AHA Connects provides Northern Nevada nonprofits with the stability and structure needed so they may come of age. A proven approach, AHA Connects creates an ecosystem that shifts headwinds to tailwinds, giving great ideas and dynamic leaders the necessary support and framework to become self-sustaining, forward-moving organizations.

The Why

AHA Connects Fills A Critical Gap

Northern Nevada nonprofits face an uphill battle. Emerging organizations, in particular, are confronted with two monumental tasks: defining their mission AND erecting a solid organizational framework. It’s not easy, and the odds are long that new agencies can take root and succeed.

Who benefits

Who It’s For and How They Benefit

AHA Connects impacts audiences differently, depending on how they interact with the facility and organization.

Nonprofit Leaders and Teams: AHA Connects provides leaders and their teams with the tools and resources – housed within a newly opened, state-of-the-art building – that enable them to shape their mission and incubate their organization.

Community Leadership & Members: AHA Connects serves the community in two key ways. 

First, we’re a home for civic life, programs, and events.

Second, municipal leaders, business owners, and the public can proudly point to the new location as a landmark contribution that strengthens the region’s network of healthy nonprofit resources in particular, while adding depth to our quality of life.

Donors & Funders: For donors and grantors, AHA Connects represents a commitment to Northern Nevada’s nonprofit backbone. This is a lasting investment in infrastructure and equity. By helping ensure long-term nonprofit viability, donors and grantors can confidently support the nonprofits that meet their funding requirements.
