Offered through the Center for Public and Nonprofit Leadership at the Georgetown Public Policy Insitute, the Nonprofit Management Executive Certificate program draws from the university's world-renowned faculty and resources to provide participants with the expertise required of today's nonprofit leaders. The program is designed to strengthen the leadership and management capacity of nonprofit practitioners. The program gives participants the skills necessary to respond to the complex challenges and opportunities of nonprofit organizations. Designed as an experiential leadership lab, this program provides a stimulating and supportive climate for exploring the pressing issues facing current and future nonprofit leaders.

Each participant takes part in a sequence of class sessions that explore the various aspects of nonprofit management and undertakes a management project that addresses a major organizational issue or need. Such a project might involve strategic planning and evaluation, board development and staff relations, financial management and accountability, fund development, issues management and advocacy, or strategic partnerships and mergers. Faculty serve as advisors in their area of expertise to assist students in the real-world application of their management projects.

The program also gives participants the opportunity to create a network of local, regional, and national nonprofit leaders committed to working across organizations, communities, and sectors to address public needs. Many of our former students have found these networking opportunities to be invaluable.
