Paterson Alliance 20th Anniversary - Founders' Video from David Spungen/Creative Scenarios on Vimeo.

 

Our History
The Paterson Alliance was founded in 1998 by five nonprofit agencies in the City of Paterson, who came together understanding that collectively the Paterson Nonprofit community needed to set an agenda that would advance the quality of life in the City. Today these five member organizations have grown to a membership consisting of more than 100 organizations. The Paterson Alliance is a member-led and member-engaged organization. The Paterson Alliance actively solicits members of the Paterson nonprofit community to join the Alliance.
