Center for Nonprofit Policy and Practice

The Center for Nonprofit Policy & Practice (CNP&P) arose from the College's involvement with community and neighborhood organizations in Cleveland dating back to the 1970s. The CNP&P was founded to support and foster the health of the nonprofit sector in our region through:

• training and technical assistance that support the role of nonprofits in civil society;
• scholarly and applied research; and
• undergraduate and graduate education in the leadership and management of nonprofit organizations.

Nurture civil society by strengthening community and faith-based nonprofit organizations.

A nationally recognized academic center providing education and assistance to leaders of community and faith-based organizations.

The Center has been accepted by the Nonprofit Academic Centers Council (NACC), the national accrediting body for nonprofit centers housed in Universities.
