Everchanging social, political, economic, and technological trends have generated many new challenges for the nonprofit sector. Factors, such as reduced government and foundation support and increased competition contribute to an environment of financial instability. To help address this need for philanthropic leadership, the Muslim Philanthropic Initiative (MPI) at the Indiana University’s Lilly Family School of Philanthropy offers a training in Philanthropic Leadership and Management designed and delivered by the expert faculty. The training provides administrative, financial, technical, and leadership skills for anyone who wish to substantially enhance their skills in philanthropic leadership. This training lifts the communities by providing them the tools to navigate their challenges through the philanthropic and nonprofit sector.

The MPI training in Philanthropic Leadership and Management is designed to strengthen the leadership and management capacity of individuals working in or with nonprofit organizations. The training gives participants the skills necessary to respond to the complex challenges and opportunities facing their organizations and communities. The participants will explore the various aspects of nonprofit management and skills and tools needed for leading in uncertain times. Each individual participant will have the opportunity to create a network of local, national, and international nonprofit leaders committed to working across organizations, communities, and sectors to address public needs. Upon completion of the training, participants will receive a certificate of participation.
