Lead with Purpose Series: Nonprofit Fundamentals

Central Indiana’s Premier Nonprofit Board Training Program

Session 1

Boards that lead with purpose are informed and equipped. Most people know nonprofits make our communities stronger, but few people know how they operate. In this session, individuals will learn the purpose and characteristics of nonprofit organizations, how they are structured, governed, and funded, and the unique role they play in society.
