Nonprofit Management Program Individual Courses
February 29, 2012
Dear Danville-Pittsylvania-Caswell County and Martinsville-Henry County Nonprofits:
Are you a nonprofit Board member or staffer looking to sharpen your skills in areas such as fundraising, grant writing and volunteer management? The Danville Regional Foundation and the Harvest Foundation are teaming up to sponsor a nonprofit training series offered through the Nonprofit Management Program, a unit of Duke University Office of Continuing Studies. The Foundations' sponsorship of these courses is intended to build upon the courses offered regionally and to provide an additional tool to address topics discussed across the region. This partnership will also allow these world-class offerings, which in total regularly cost $1,100, to be brought to our region for a fraction of this cost.
The Duke Nonprofit Management Program was created two decades ago to address the sustainability and impact of nonprofit workers and volunteers through accessible training and community based networking with over 2,500 certificates issued to date. The Program provides accessible, affordable, and practical training that prepares those in the nonprofit sector with tools to strengthen the communities they reach. It integrates Duke University's commitment to research and academic excellence with the practical wisdom of the instructors and the realistic work experience of the participants. The Program offers courses, retreats, customized training, and certificates for nonprofit staff and volunteers and draws participants from across the country.
The series will be offered at the New College Institute and the Institute for Advanced Learning and Research and class size for each session will be limited to twenty-five (25). Registration is required for session participation and will be accessible through the Foundations' websites only (NMP Registration Form). Each of the nine (9) courses in this series is free standing. You can sign up for one or all the courses. There will be a fee of $35 for each session; however, if you register for all eight sessions, the cost will be $250. Registration is first come, first serve. Limit your organization's representation to no more than two individuals in any one course, ideally one staff member and one board member. Session descriptions and professor bios are listed below for additional detail. Coursework may be applied towards the Duke University Certificate in Nonprofit Management.
