Our Mission:
The Nonprofit Leadership Alliance is a national alliance of colleges, universities, and nonprofits; our mission is to strengthen the social sector with a talented and prepared workforce.

General Background:
The Nonprofit Leadership Alliance (formerly American Humanics Inc.) was founded in 1948 by H. Roe Bartle and is now in partnership with over 33 colleges and universities and also proudly partners with 15 national nonprofit organizations.

The Nonprofit Leadership Alliance is headquartered in Kansas City, Missouri and is the only nonprofit organization to meet the need of educating and preparing students and professionals to be leaders in the nonprofit sector.

Through their work in the Nonprofit Leadership Alliance, along several other related requirements, students are able to earn a nationally recognized certificate in nonprofit leadership.  The Certified Nonprofit Professional (CNP) crediential/certificate, puts students a length ahead when it comes to beginning a career in the nonprofit sector after graduation.

“I would recommend Nonprofit Leadership Alliance to any college student who wanted to get into the service business; it is the best way to find out about opportunities to be of service and get a leg up towards a career.”

— Phil Hanson
