PPOL-530 NONPROFITS AND NGOS: ISSUES, IMPACT AND INNOVATION
Fall only
Elizabeth Heagy
The nonprofit sector – also referred to as the nongovernmental (NGO) sector, the third sector or civil society – plays a unique and historical role in our society and increasingly globally. Indeed, a large percentage of GPPI graduates have recognized this and go on to work for a diverse array of nonprofit organizations upon graduation. Why nonprofits? This course will study the unique elements that distinguish the nonprofit sector from the private and public sectors and, yet, how boundaries between the three sectors have been blurred – from the provision of services to regulation. Using the case study method and focusing on nonprofits at the local, national and international levels, students will study the factors that allow nonprofit organizations to have the greatest impact on their issues, including the ability to: leverage networks, advocate causes, work with markets, adapt to changing circumstances and exercise effective leadership AND management.
