The AMC Institute is proud to introduce AssociationWorkforce.com, a new digital platform created to connect Association Management Companies with freelancers who have experience serving associations, nonprofits, and multi-client organizations.

The first wave of freelancers has completed onboarding, and the next phase invites AMCI member firms to explore and prepare to post their first projects.
Visit the Association Workforce site to see what has been built and how it continues to evolve. The platform will expand during the full launch once AMCs have posted their initial opportunities.

As you know, President Trump and Congressional Republicans recently passed the One Big, Beautiful Bill Act, extending provisions of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and enacting a number of other priorities.
Early versions of that bill included provisions that would have imposed harmful tax changes on nonprofits. Thanks to strong advocacy, those provisions were removed. Even better, the final law expands the use of 529 Plan savings to cover professional credentialing and certifications, programs offered by many associations. That’s a clear win for the nonprofit community.
