Non-Profit Management

Training Program


Please note that as of January 1998, the Non-Profit Management Training Program is operated by the Fund for International Development (FIND). Please contact Dale Needles or Nancy Wiltsek at find@igc.org.


The Nonprofit Management Training Program's mission is to provide leaders of nonprofit organizations in the former Soviet Union with training in the management skills necessary to grow and strengthen those agencies and the emerging nonprofit sector in the former Soviet Union. The program also seeks to build linkages between American and Russian nonprofits, as well as support horizontal ties among the Russian organizations themselves.

A typical delegation of eight Russian Nonprofit managers hosted in counterpart American organizations.


Program Activities:

  • Four-week intensive management training internships at American nonprofit organizations of a similar profile.

  • Seminars on specific skills such as fundraising, foundation research, organizational development, program planning, budget development, governance and volunteer recruitment, both in the US and Russia.

  • The opportunity to apply for small grants to improve organizational capacity and effectiveness.

  • Consultations by American nonprofit experts in Russia.

Beneficiaries:

The Nonprofit Management Training Program targets managers of health, education and social service organizations that have been in existence for at least one year. Candidates are selected based on the genuine need for their organization's services, the quality of the services provided and their ability to communicate well in English. The program works with nonprofit organizations in Moscow and St. Petersburg only. American nonprofit organizations are recruited to participate based on the overall quality of their management and the capacity of the Executive Director (or his/her designate) to meet the training needs of the intern.

Funding:

The Nonprofit Management Training Program began in 1994. It is made possible through substantial donations of time, expertise, housing, and transportation by US volunteers and nonprofit organizations; private donations; and a generous grant from the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation.
