To participate in the NOA Retirement Pension Plan, you must be a social change, arts or service agency with at least one paid-up NOA member on staff and agree to the basic NOA principles. To make it possible for struggling non-profit organizations to participate, several progressive grantmakers, and NOA, are underwriting administrative fees for individual participants. Take the plan to your board for approval, and write the costs into your next budget. If you already have a plan, call for information on rolling it into the NOA plan. And don't forget to ask your funders for assistance.
Foundations comprise the third corner of the progressive sector employment structure.
It is fitting that they share the responsibility of providing the dollars to make this plan an industry standard. If you're employed by a progressive organization, talk to your colleagues at work and to your supervising staff about joining the plan. Call us for further information. Become part of the NOA Retirement Pension Plan. Your investment will count many times over, and strengthen us all for the long haul.
