Our Community, Our Commitment
The Nonprofit Center of Northeast Florida believes that diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) make us a better and stronger organization. We are committed to fostering a work environment where DEI strategy is fully integrated into our values, our programs, and services, ensuring that we are actively breaking down barriers that limit access to resources, learning and belonging, and lifting up the assets that contribute to a fully inclusive workplace. To achieve our vision of a vibrant, inclusive Northeast Florida, the Nonprofit Center acknowledges that it and the nonprofit sector have not always been leaders in dismantling systemic issues and, in some ways, have enabled inequitable systems. We are no longer satisfied with the status quo. This statement is the latest step in a process that we commit to being publicly accountable for. View our Commitment to Diversity, Equity & Inclusion.
Visiting The Jessie
Our offices are located inside The Jessie at 40 East Adams Street, Jacksonville, FL 32202. The Nonprofit Center is in Suite 100.
Programs taking place at The Jessie can take place in various rooms within the building, please check your registration confirmation email for a specific room assignment.
Attendees of fee-based programs such as the Professional Development Series and programs that are longer than 2 hours are provided parking validation at the Yates Garage located at 200 E. Adams Street.
Upon entrance to the Yates garage, pull up to the right-hand gate arm to pull a ticket. You must bring the ticket with you to the program to receive a validation sticker. Upon exiting the garage, you will insert the validated ticket into the machine which will release the gate arm.
Generally, programs that are under 2 hours and/or free to our members are not provided validated parking. There are many parking options in Downtown Jacksonville.
Please click here to find a parking option that works for you. We do recommend parking at the Yates Garage as it is the closest and most affordable option to the Jessie.
