Nonprofit Foundations

- This is an exciting time to be launching or leading a nonprofit. In this age of social entrepreneurship, more than 30,000 new nonprofits are created each year in the United States alone. In this dynamic and competitive marketplace, gaining the knowledge and developing the skills to effectively lead and manage a nonprofit will be crucial to ensuring that you achieve the maximum impact possible for your cause. I'm Leslie Crutchfield. I've been working with, writing about, and advising high impact, mission driven organizations for 25 years.

In this course, I'll cover leadership strategies and how to develop your theory-of-change, as well as the skills you'll need to effectively fundraise for and market your organization. I'll help you understand management best practices, such as how to recruit and retain talented staff and volunteers. And I'll also address governance, finance, and accounting. Finally, we'll explore how to expand your impact by focusing externally, outside of your nonprofit's walls, and work across all sectors of society to advance your cause.

If you aspire to launch or lead a high impact nonprofit, then this course is designed for you.
