The National Association of Planning Councils (NAPC) is committed to working together to build strong and caring communities across America.

NAPC is a private, non-profit national organization which promotes quality community planning and supports its members as they provide leadership for community-based human services and health planning and action.

Planning councils bring people together to identify needs and work toward solutions, mobilizing community involvement, developing and coordinating services, advocating for informed decisions by funders and policy makers, and linking people with community resources.

NAPC is a membership organization, open to organizations and individuals. NAPC hosts an annual national conference.
