Let ACRE Help Your Nonprofit Meaningfully Reduce Costs
The Nonprofit Buying Network
There's Purchasing Power in Numbers
Every nonprofit is different. But many of the services they use are pretty common among a lot of nonprofits.
That common interest creates a massive opportunity. Let’s say 10 nonprofits want to buy the same or similar service. How much would providers of that service lower their pricing to get all 10? What if it was 20 nonprofits? Or 50?
That’s the idea behind ACRE’s Nonprofit Buying Network. To leverage aggregate nonprofit demand over time.
To help grow that network, ACRE provides two procurement services to nonprofits.
- RapidQuote – a free service that gets you current pricing data from providers and retailers of any service you want.
- If those prices aren’t satisfactory to you, ACRE will work to use the leverage of the Nonprofit Buying Network to negotiate better pricing with interested vendors.
When you’re planning a purchase and pricing is a factor, let the Nonprofit Buying Netwok know, and let’s see how much you can save!
