About the Academy
Are you ready to give back more? Nonprofit organizations have unique
management, funding, human resources, and finance issues that require
specialized training. Whether you're a veteran nonprofit professional,
a grant maker, a staff member, a trustee, or someone interested in
making a career change to the nonprofit sector, our interactive, solutions-based
certificate programs will inspire excellence in you as you learn from
seasoned instructors and other course participants.
The Nonprofit Academy for Excellence at the U was created in partnership
with the Utah Nonprofits
Association and the Utah
Society of Fund Raisers.
The program was developed by an Advisory
Committee of
distinguished representatives from the nonprofit sector, ranging from
corporate giving to board members to nonprofit management. Classes
are taught by outstanding practitioners and academicians who are recognized

each class ready to implement new plans and new ideas, with valuable
resource materials to take back and share with your colleagues.
