TANO Member Benefits

Texas Association of Nonprofit Organizations (TANO) has partnered with First Nonprofit Companies (FNC) to provide our members and other nonprofits with turnkey solutions to save up to 60% on unemployment insurance costs.

Since 2001, FNC has helped over 850 nonprofit organizations across the country save over $30 million in unemployment taxes. We want to help even more nonprofits save money, so we are working with FNC to make all Texas nonprofits aware of this cost-saving program.
For a review of all the insurance products that are offered through TANO, please go to http://www.tano.org/insurance/
