We are pleased to offer curriculum materials developed by the
Union Institute Center for Public Policy's Nonprofit Leadership
and Democracy Project. For a free copy of the Nonprofit Leadership
and Democracy Curriculum: A Guide for Strategic Analysis, Participatory

The Nonprofit Leadership and Democracy Project has developed an
innovative educational and training curriculum to help equip current
and future nonprofit leaders to meet the complex challenges facing
the nonprofit sector. Drawing directly on the historical knowledge
and contemporary experience of leading scholars and practitioners
from the United States, the project examines the nonprofit sector's
critical role in advancing social justice and deepening democracy.
The project was developed with the support of the David and Lucile
Packard Foundation.
Below is the entire curriculum in PDF format (requires Adobe
