This course is designed to provide an overview of best practices for developing and managing a successful environmental non-profit organization. Class participants will gain a working knowledge of environmental non-profit management by visiting local nature centers, land trusts, outdoor adventure providers and others; interviewing staff members, donors, and board members; participating in class discussions and completing written assignments. As a final project students will create a professional proposal for the development of a specific non-profit environmental organization that will include: organizational mission, programs, staff, and financial/business plan (annual budget, fund-raising, and development).
