The Nonprofit Management Certificate Program is a cohort of seven full-day sessions that provide in-depth instruction on the key components of the operations of a nonprofit.

As a cohort, students learn together what it takes to operate a nonprofit organization in a rapidly changing environment. A mix of theory and practice, the certificate program covers board governance, strategic planning, program evaluation, human resources and volunteer management, financial management, risk management and legal issues, fund development, and marketing.  

Our instructors come from varied business and educational background with track records of success in their respective fields and areas of expertise.
