Institute for Nonprofit Practice
Progress is powered by people and now is the time to invest in yourself and the communities that you serve! Learn more about what we offer for both in-person and virtual programs in locations around the US. The Institute for Nonprofit Practice (INP) works to ensure that you, as the nation’s most promising nonprofit, public sector, and social impact leaders, have the skills, knowledge, networks, and confidence to effectively lead, advance justice, and build a more equitable future for all. INP offers a suite of resources and programs for leaders at all stages in their careers, including equity-focused management and leadership development, community convenings, network building, and robust alumni programming, all designed to build upon the knowledge, financial, and social capital of leaders who are addressing the most significant issues of our time and building the world we all need. Our programs center diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging as core parts of everything we do. Currently, 70% of INP faculty, staff, and participants identify as BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color). Behind INP’s nationally-recognized programming to develop leaders and advance their organizational missions is a culture that is thoughtful and attentive to its staff and faculty. A strong sense of community and shared values are key aspects of what make working at INP unique. After nearly 15 years of success in the Northeast, INP has now expanded to meet the need and demand for equity-focused capacity leadership development across the country. With sites in the Northeast, Midwest, and West Coast, INP now serves a network of more than 6,500 social impact leaders from over 1,000 distinct organizations annually.
