Center for Nonprofit Management

Our Approach

Rigorous and relevant tools and strategies for transformative leadership

Our programs traditionally focus on rising and senior management with strategic responsibility for the growth of nonprofit organizations, regardless of size or mission. The Center for Nonprofit Management has built on the Kellogg School’s distinguished reputation in providing degree and non-degree leadership and management programs for leaders from all types of organizations. We help nonprofit leaders and board members from all missions meet the challenges they face in building their organizations and in managing them in the most effective way.
