A&E is a program within NSC, and organizations also have other opportunities for learning and capacity building. These include training workshops focused on leadership development, organizational culture and employee engagement. For smaller nonprofits and volunteer-led organizations NSC offers fiscal and management support. Through our consulting services we offer a pro-bono session called “The Free 30 Minutes”, which allows any nonprofit to call and schedule 30 minutes of advice at no fee. Other consulting programs include board development, strategic planning, governance support, merger and acquisition guidance, executive coaching and placement, just to name a few.
