Throughout the Accelerator experience, participants will be invited to:

- Deepen knowledge of nonprofit management fundamentals and responsibilities
- Connect with peers across the state
This program is built on our Nonprofit Management Fundamentals. Participants will be introduced to these fundamentals, explore them within the cohort, and be prepared to practice and master them throughout and after the program. Nonprofit Manager Fundamentals Montana Nonprofit Association believes managers of people and programs achieve impactful results when they:
- Cultivate self-awareness.
- Develop and sustain relationships built on trust.
- Create comprehensive, realistic plans that align with overall organizational needs.
- Accurately evaluate project and organizational outcomes.
- Support employee growth and development. Prioritize and advocate for inclusive and equitable approaches and outcomes.
We’ve all had an unpredictable year, and strong management practices are more important than ever, which is why we are offering Accelerator this year in our most accessible format yet. Instead of a cohort-based model, join any or all of our three weeks of content covering Accelerator basics, with all your team members by your side.
Participants can join for three weeks of sessions on Accelerator basics:
Week One: Building a Foundation of Trust
- November 3 & 5 | 11:00 AM – 12:30 PM MTN
Week Two: Practical Planning and Evaluation for Nonprofit Managers
- November 10 & 12 | 11:00 AM – 12:30 PM MTN
Week Three: Managing and Supporting Employee Performance
- November 17 & 19 | 11:00 AM – 12:30 PM MTN
Participants from your entire team can take part in six sessions over three weeks, totaling nine hours of live classroom time on Zoom. Participants will explore the nonprofit fundamentals and leave with tools, protocols, and confidence implementing best practices in areas from performance management to budget planning to team culture.
This program has been developed for new nonprofit managers that oversee at least one employee. Those with more management experience, those who manage a program but don’t oversee employees, or those on track for executive leadership may also find value in this program.
