About Us

Nonprofit leadership and excellence is a critical element for a healthy and vibrant community. The professional organizations that form the steering committee for The Nonprofit Academy are committed to providing economical training resources for nonprofit community leaders.

The Nonprofit Academy’s mission is to:

- Provide nonprofits access to a wide variety of training classes that help fulfill the nonprofit mission to the community

Provide high caliber and practical instruction
Provide low cost training opportunities
Create and maintain a schedule that can be planned and budgeted in fiscal cycles
Create a training system that can easily be funded through external sources

The Nonprofit Academy offers membership-based training. All who join the consortium will be able to plan training opportunities at the beginning of the calendar year, work side-by-side with colleagues in the same line of business, learn from top-rated practical instructors (both local and regional), and train in a professional and well-equipped location.

Thirty six training classes will be offered throughout the year (approximately three/month). Each consortium Core member will be allocated 24 training slots to use in the best interest of their organization. One organization may send 24 people to one class and another may send one person to 24 classes. It is completely up to the member organization to decide how their training will be structured.
