Center for Nonprofit Management
One of the first of its kind within a university, the Center for Nonprofit Management (CNM) strives to be a premier resource for innovative education, training and research to advance the effectiveness of the nonprofit sector.
The center's leadership believes that society's challenges belong to all of us, and to solve problems and prevent others, we need to build new models for increasing our capacity to affect change. Through a consortium of nonprofit and for-profit entrepreneurs, practitioners and researchers, the center redefines and provides new models for nonprofit practice excellence.
As an organization within the Opus College of Business at the University of St. Thomas, CNM also stands on its commitment to support the next generation of highly principled, ethical thought leaders of the nonprofit sector. See the Nonprofit Management page for a listing of programs offered through the division of Executive Education.
