Team, Mission & Vision

The Center for Nonprofits was founded in 2002 as part of the Welch College of Business and Technology to engage MBA students in a community-oriented setting where they can apply their skills and knowledge to assist nonprofits from Fairfield and New Haven counties.

Today the center has grown beyond just the MBA students' projects. It provides experiential learning opportunities for graduate and undergraduate students in different fields of study and conducts leadership development, annual conferences and educational webinars.

Mission
