Our goal is to strengthen the nonprofit sector in North Dakota by providing nonprofit leadership ongoing support, educational opportunities, turn-key resources, and facilitating sharing of best practices.  Strengthen ND’s Nonprofit Board Leadership Program was established to support nonprofit professionals and volunteers.  Our intent is to provide an opportunity for nonprofit associates to benchmark where they are today, and to learn the roles and responsibilities of nonprofit leadership to get things done.
