Organization’s History

In 1993, seven local nonprofit organizations joined together to form ServNet, a nonprofit collaboration. Its purpose was to establish a strong, unified voice for nonprofit agencies that demonstrated and asserted leadership, advocacy and service in response to community and organizational needs. A membership fee was established, based on agency budget size, to provide the resources to build a structure that would achieve the goals of cooperation and collaboration.

In 2002 ServNet determined it was time to broaden the mission and explore nonprofit issues beyond those of the human services sector it initially supported. It studied several different nonprofit models of collaboration and management services, consulting with both the Human Services Federation in Lincoln, Nebraska, and the Colorado Springs Chamber Nonprofit Partnership.

The membership recognized that a formal, sustained commitment to work together to establish a common mission should be the broader nonprofit vision of ServNet. The benefits to all nonprofit agencies, large and small, would be significant. This decision led ServNet to expand its mission, vision and name to become the Nonprofit Association of the Midlands (NAM). A steering committee guided expansion of the new entity. Representatives from the arts, health care, human services and technology worked together to develop the expansion business plan which opened NAM membership to all 501(c)(3) corporations in Nebraska and Southwest Iowa.
