What We Do
Free Services
-
NEPA PULSE serves as a central hub for what's happening across Northeastern Pennsylvania — connecting local leaders, changemakers, and community partners to timely information that supports their work.
We monitor opportunities, initiatives, and events across sectors, then share what’s most relevant through newsletters, curated bulletins, and targeted outreach. Whether it’s a new grant cycle, an emerging partnership opportunity, or an upcoming regional convening, we help make sure the right people hear about it at the right time.
This isn’t just another newsletter — it’s a lifeline for staying engaged without getting overwhelmed.
Stay in the loop, stay on mission — we’ll help you focus on what matters most.
-
We offer dynamic learning opportunities to help individuals, organizations, and communities grow stronger together. Our workshops and trainings are designed to be practical, interactive, and rooted in the needs of Northeastern Pennsylvania.
Topics include but are in no way limited to: nonprofit leadership, grant readiness, strategic planning, community engagement, equity, and collaborative problem-solving. Whether you’re just getting started or leading a regional initiative, our offerings provide the tools and knowledge to support your goals.
We also share guides, templates, and toolkits to help you apply what you learn and keep building momentum.
Many trainings are offered at no cost; custom sessions are available by request.

NEPA PULSE helps people get where they need to go. Whether you’re looking for a specific service, potential partners, technical assistance, or a place to plug in — we’re here to help make the right connection.
We help build bridges between people and organizations doing similar or complementary work—across town lines, sectors, and focus areas. Whether you’re looking for a co-host for your next event or seeking input from others tackling the same challenge, NEPA PULSE can help make the connection. We create space for collaboration, not competition.
This includes one-on-one guidance, warm handoffs to trusted partners, and navigation support for funders, agencies, and organizations trying to work more effectively across the region.
-
Have a resource to share with the region? We help spread the word—whether it’s a new program, tool, initiative, or opportunity. We also help distribute existing resources to those who can benefit most.
-
Real change starts by listening. NEPA PULSE organizes and facilitates community engagement sessions—whether neighborhood-based, issue-specific, or region-wide—that give residents and stakeholders a voice in shaping the future of their communities. These sessions create a space for shared understanding, new ideas, and lasting relationships.
-
Not everyone has access to a team of designers, planners, or administrators—and that’s where we can lend a hand. NEPA PULSE provides limited, light-touch technical support for things like reviewing outreach materials, organizing key documents, or advising on simple digital tools. Our goal is to help you feel more confident and equipped as you move your work forward.
Paid Services
While NEPA PULSE offers many services and programs free of charge, some initiatives require deeper collaboration, time, and capacity. Our paid service offerings are built for organizations and coalitions that need focused, hands-on support to move from vision to action.
We offer these services at accessible rates, with a commitment to integrity, transparency, and local relevance. Whether you’re launching something new or trying to strengthen what you’ve already built, we’re here to help you do it with clarity and care.
