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.
Graduation
from the Nonprofit Self-Directed Certificate Program requires completion
of seven full days of training (50 contact hours). You can take any
of the classes without enrolling in the certificate program. These
classes do not need to be taken in any sequence, although it is recommended
participants take Foundations of Nonprofit Management first.
