At the Center for Philanthropy & Nonprofit Leadership, our programs unite theory and nonprofit sector experience, so students can learn from seasoned practitioners and their peers. The Center seeks to offer high-quality educational programming in formats that are convenient for individuals committed to working and volunteering for nonprofit organizations.
Our programs prepare nonprofit professionals to lead organizations and strengthen their communities. Fundraisers acquire best practices to secure resources; board members and volunteers learn to serve more effectively; and donors learn to give wisely. We focus our efforts on building the capacity of individual leaders in the following areas to work towards the goal of nonprofit sustainability:
- Actively Engaged Board
- Defined Strategic Direction
- Ability to Secure Diverse Sources of Funding
- Sound Financial Practices
- Ability to Demonstrate Impact
- Talent Management
- Leadership Commitment
