For decades, nonprofits have been at the forefront of every social change movement as they work to secure our quality of life. The nonprofit sector constitutes a major part of the United States economy and represents the best of our collective human desire to create a more prosperous, generous, beautiful, and equal world.
As the world continues to recover from the devastating effects of a pandemic and economic hardships, more nonprofits are coming together and working harder than ever to deliver the support that so many people need right now.
We have a resource that explores how professionals working in the nonprofit sector can grow their skills and create strong nonprofit organizations that change their communities and the world.
Why a Master's Degree Built Specifically for Nonprofit Professionals?
Growing a successful nonprofit program or organization is not the same as growing a successful product line.
Nonprofit leaders have to think differently about revenue, accounting, program delivery, employee well-being, community impact, and more, because their primary constituents are not shareholders but funders and other community stakeholders.
Working for a nonprofit is often demanding and highly emotional labor, and while professionals and social entrepreneurs drawn to the sector are driven by intrinsic motivations, they also need support, on-going training, and resources to grow and succeed.
A Master’s in Nonprofit Leadership and Management can train you to apply theories and conceptual models to identify and solve problems unique to nonprofit settings. You can learn from both experienced practitioners and academics from a variety of industries who are experts in their respective fields and have researched or developed solutions to the same challenges you are facing.
