Resources
Professional development is an important part of all livelihoods, and not always easy to navigate. Especially when there isn’t a line item in the budget. Here we provide information on how to access educational tools and supportive resources to help you grow as a nonprofit professional.
Here you’ll find book and podcast recommendations, software comparison charts, and other free resources.
