The JCU NPA program is pleased to partner with organizations in our community. Please see below for partnership opportunities!

The NPA program hosts FREE Community Workshops on various topics related to the nonprofit sector. If you would like to be added to our Community Contacts list to be notified of these workshops, please contact us at nonprofit@jcu.edu.

Each year, the NPA program accepts proposals from local nonprofit organizations for group projects. Students work in groups of four or five (approximately 400 hours of work) to complete a deliverable of tangible value to area agencies. For more information on how to apply, please see the Request for Proposals. If you would like your organization to receive an email notification for the next RFP, please email us at nonprofit@jcu.edu.

Our Community Advisory Committee, comprised of executives and senior leaders of local nonprofits, advises the program on the current state of the field, and makes recommendations for the program to ensure the information students learn is relevant to current trends in the sector.
