About this Course

This course was developed by a team of nonprofit founders and executives who have collectively raised millions of dollars and helped thousands of individuals. After growing their own nonprofits and making many of the same mistakes, they realized that there needed to be a better way to train the next generation of nonprofit leaders than the trial-and-error process they had endured, and thus they created the Nonprofit Institute. The NPI is your place to learn about starting a nonprofit or for profit business, growing the business, and a number of other soft and technical skills. If you want to learn from those who have successfully started businesses, we have the instructors for you!
