Do you know how to protect your purpose while drumming up support? Are you politically
savvy? What kind of ethical standards have you set? Can you communicate and build relationships
effectively to different audiences? Do you know how to Identify, select, and manage a board
effectively? How do you know if your organization is successful?
As a current or aspiring leader in the nonprofit community, you need to keep lots of
gears in motion. Get the training you need to effectively lead, develop, and manage your
nonprofit and your staff, all while never losing focus on your mission. We will show you
how to stay at the lead and on the ball with your organization, external stakeholders,
government entities, and employees.
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 nonprofit endeavors.
Graduation from the Leadership and Management for Nonprofits Certificate Program requires
acceptance into the Nonprofit Academy for Excellence and completion of seven full days of
training (~50 contact hours). However, anyone may take any of the classes without acceptance
into the Nonprofit Academy. These classes do not need to be taken in any sequence, although
it is recommended participants take Foundations of Nonprofit Management first.
