SINCE 2007, THE INSTITUTE FOR NONPROFIT PRACTICE (INP) HAS WORKED TO CREATE A MORE EFFECTIVE, CONNECTED, AND DIVERSE NONPROFIT SECTOR BY EDUCATING THE CURRENT AND NEXT GENERATION OF LEADERS. OUR MISSION IS TO TRANSFORM COMMUNITIES BY EQUIPPING THE MOST PROMISING NONPROFIT LEADERS WITH THE SKILLS, CONFIDENCE, AND RESOURCES THEY NEED TO MAKE THEIR ORGANIZATIONS EFFECTIVE, INNOVATIVE, AND SUSTAINABLE. WE PROVIDE COMPREHENSIVE, ACADEMICALLY DISTINGUISHED, AND AFFORDABLE CERTIFICATE PROGRAMS IN AFFILIATION WITH THE JONATHAN M. TISCH COLLEGE OF CIVIC LIFE AT TUFTS UNIVERSITY. OUR PROGRAMS EMPHASIZE SOCIAL JUSTICE AND THE ADVANCEMENT OF WOMEN AND PEOPLE OF COLOR IN LEADERSHIP.OVER TEN YEARS WE HAVE STEADILY GROWN: OUR FIRST PROGRAM SERVED 14 NONPROFIT EXECUTIVES, AND WE NOW EDUCATE OVER 150 LEADERS IN OUR YEAR-LONG PROGRAMS ANNUALLY ACROSS FOUR SITES, AND WE CONTINUE TO GROW. OUR ALUMNI PROGRAMMING SUPPORTS A GROWING NETWORK OF OVER 1,200 ALUMNI.
