The Center for Nonprofit Stewardship is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that educates and empowers nonprofit boards, staff, and volunteers in sound financial, administrative and organizational stewardship. We believe that if nonprofits were eliminated, the health and well-being of our communities would decline significantly. Nonprofit organizations play a vital role in building healthy communities and improving people’s lives. Across the region, local nonprofit organizations are working every day to strengthen communities, provide critical services, and advance equality and opportunity for all. Developing more high-quality nonprofit leaders, improving organizational effectiveness, and increasing accountability advances healthy, thriving communities.
