Certificate in Nonprofit Management, Leadership and Innovation
About the Program
The Certificate in Nonprofit Management, Leadership, and Innovation (CNMLI) prepares students to successfully lead and manage nonprofit organizations. The CNMLI’s primary mission is to prepare a cohort of technically proficient, ethical and competent leaders that help improve the sustainability and effectiveness of local, state, and, national nonprofit organizations. Students will gain an understanding of the broad questions and issues facing the nonprofit sector as well as the practical managerial and administrative techniques necessary for success.
Specifically, students will understand:
- The role of the nonprofit sector in a democratic society.
- The diverse roles of philanthropic institutions in the political, social, and economic environment.
- The financial realities of nonprofits and the importance of accountability and ethical questions facing nonprofit organizations.
- The legal framework of nonprofit organizations.
- The critical issues related to board governance, strategic planning, fundraising, and financial management.
Courses for the CNMLI are offered in a hybrid format that blends online coursework with in-person instruction on the Statesboro Campus.
