Not everyone can manage the financial operations of a nonprofit organization.
It takes a uniquely talented individual to manage the reporting, regulations,
and requirements of federal grants; the auditing process; and various sources
of contributed and earned income, not to mention answering to your management
and your Board.
Money matters so much in the nonprofit world—from unique government
regulations to special internal control mechanisms—you need to know
the best practices and principles. Enhance and improve your understanding
and application of nonprofit financial principles with the Nonprofit
Academy of Excellence at The University of Utah. We'll show you how
to plan for future growth while accounting for today.
The core strategy of the Nonprofit Academy for Excellence is a commitment to ethical
management and enhanced professionalism among those engaged in the
nonprofit sector whether as a staff member, board member, or volunteer.
In these interactive classes, key concepts are demonstrated using examples
provided by the instructors. Participants will practice what they have learned
by developing and applying strategies to their own circumstances. Participants
will also learn from each other and build relationships that are an essential part of successful fundraising endeavors.

However, anyone may take any of the classes without acceptance into the Nonprofit Academy.
