Candidates for HBI’s educational programs may be:

UW-Milwaukee offers an MS in Nonprofit Management and Leadership that is ideal for individuals looking to build a career in the nonprofit sector. Topics covered are similar to what you might find in an MBA program but are focused on issues specific to nonprofits. Listen to alumna Jill Van Calster talk about some of the classes that have helped her become the President and CEO of the Donors Forum of Wisconsin – classes like nonprofit law, fundraising and nonprofit accounting.
