Nonprofit Center at La Salle University
The Nonprofit Center at LaSalle University gives the following descriptive information:
From introductions to foundation representatives at a “Meet the Funders” panel discussion, to ways to amplify the message of our mission at a “Nonprofit Branding on a Shoestring” workshop, The Nonprofit Center opens the door to a range of resources. The professional development opportunities provide practical, timely, and, in some cases, ‘eye-opening’ expert guidance on ways to deepen donor relationships. I always come away from the classes with a well-defined ‘to-do’ list that refines our fundraising efforts. To state the obvious: we are in a highly competitive environment for dollars/donors. Essentially, every non profit is in the business of improving the community; each using different means to achieve this same end. The Nonprofit Center hands us the tools to best leverage what is unique to our work.
--Ellen Saint Clair, Director of Development, Children’s Village
