History
The Nonprofit Support Center (NSC) is a regional training, consulting, and resource center for board members, staff, and volunteers of nonprofit organizations. NSC began as an idea that came out of the Partnership for Excellence Conference. Local foundations and nonprofits found the need for a central location for information, resources, professional development, and consulting for nonprofit organizations.
NSC was founded in 1995 under the auspices of the Santa Barbara Foundation and with the support of the James Irvine Foundation, the NSC became an independent nonprofit organization on January 1, 1997. NSC expanded to an office in Santa Maria in 2004 and then to San Luis Obispo in 2008.
