Welcome to The Nonprofit Center

The Nonprofit Center at La Salle University is in the business of nonprofits. Our name is our mission; it's what we do. With nearly 40 years of experience at the forefront of helping organizations in the Greater Philadelphia region and beyond to strengthen themselves, their boards and their staffs, we recognize that all nonprofits must be able to implement and maintain strong and ethical business practices in order to thrive in today's competitive and complex world. We work in partnership with:
  • Nonprofit Executive Directors, Staff and Volunteers
  • Nonprofit Boards of Directors
  • Businesses that Value CSR and the Role Nonprofits Play in our Community
Our diverse, integrated services in nonprofit education, consulting and leadership development, are rooted in best practices and immersed in the unique nonprofit culture.

Resources to help stimulate your conversations about racial equity

The Nonprofit Center has compiled a collection of resources designed to help stimulate your conversations about racial equity. While this information is a start, it by no means is a quick answer or meant to simplify the entire breadth of the movement to increase equity. This is meant to raise awareness and begin the process toward deciding what next steps we can all take.
