IDCE 30296 - Nonprofit and NGO Management Issues

This course is designed for anyone currently, or intending to, work, run, fund or start a nonprofit or nongovernmental organization. This class is taught from the perspective of community-spirited action directed at social, environmental, economic and housing programs and projects. Although the emphasis is on domestic nonprofit organizations, some of the sessions deal with international NGOs. In addition, many of the domestic issues (e.g. financial management and board of directors’ goverance) are transferable to international organizations. Major topics covered include mission decisions, executive v. board relations, financial management and reporting, and personnel management. In teams, the students will incrementally build a start-up nonprofit/NGO.
