About the Institute for Nonprofit Practice

The Institute for Nonprofit Practice (INP) works to ensure that the nation’s most promising nonprofit, public sector, and social impact leaders have the skills, knowledge, networks, and confidence to effectively lead, advance justice, and build a more equitable future for all. INP offers a suite of resources and programming, including equity-focused management and leadership development, community convenings, network building, and robust alumni programming, all designed to build upon the knowledge, financial, and social capital of leaders at all stages in their careers.

An intentional and wide-reaching focus on diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging is core to INP’s mission and part of every aspect of the organization’s work. At present, 70% of INP faculty, staff, and participants identify as BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color).

Behind INP’s award-winning programming to develop leaders and advance their organizational missions is an organizational culture that is thoughtful and attentive to its staff and faculty. A strong sense of community and values are key aspects of what make working at INP unique.

After nearly 15 years of success in the Northeast, INP has expanded to further meet the need and demand for equity focused capacity building and leadership development across the country. With sites in the Northeast, Midwest, and West Coast, INP now serves over 6,500 social impact leaders from over 1,000 distinct organizations annually.
