Center for Citizen Initiatives
Non-Profit Management Training Program
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:
- 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.
