ACRE Services: Free for Nonprofits. Transparent by Design.
ACRE is primarily funded by participating vendors through referral fees and negotiated agreements, not by the nonprofits we serve.
We evaluate the strongest available options regardless of whether a vendor compensates ACRE. If a recommended provider is an affiliate partner, we disclose that relationship before you make a decision.
Some services may include pass-through fees from third parties involved in the delivery of those services. Those costs are explained clearly in advance.
Who Is ACRE?
ACRE was founded in 2022 by Craig Price, a former national association executive with more than two decades of experience in association management and nonprofit operations consulting.
Its mission is to help small and mid-sized nonprofits reduce operating and purchase costs by consolidating and leveraging their collective buying power and best spending practices.
If your nonprofit has ever:
- Renewed a contract without comparing alternatives because no one had time
- Accepted a vendor’s first price because negotiating felt too difficult or time-consuming
- Suspected you were overpaying but could not justify the research hours
ACRE was built for you!
