It seems that non-profit organizations today are facing increased competition while the funding sources are almost shrinking. These two factors make it challenging to meet funding needs, and many executives find themselves spending the lion's share of their time on fundraising instead of other important tasks and operations. We hear this complaint frequently, and we certainly understand how frustrating this situation has become.

Fortunately for non-profits today, our Certification is designed to help. By completing our Certification Course, non-profits demonstrate their commitment to excellence in non-profit governance, ethics, and accountability. Funders, who always like to make sure they're working with professional and well-run organizations, recognize the Certification as an outward display of operational excellence. They understand that, by working with non-profits that have a Certification, they are giving money to a reliable and trustworthy entity.

Think of the Certification as a competitive advantage, in an age where a growing number of groups are seeking funds from sources that seem to be shrinking.
