As Nonprofit Austin celebrates 25 years of serving the Greater Austin nonprofit community, we reaffirm our commitment to standing with our colleagues during challenging times. We know many organizations and nonprofit professionals are navigating real financial constraints, and we believe access to learning and growth should never be out of reach.
Effective immediately, our single-session learning opportunities will be offered at no cost. For those who are able, we invite you to pay what you can. Our goal is to remove barriers, strengthen our sector, and ensure that everyone who wants to learn has the opportunity to do so. Our certificate programs will continue to be offered at their current tuition rates.
Together, we continue to build a more resilient and connected nonprofit community.

The Value of Professional Development for Nonprofit Practitioners
|
|
|
|
Professional development is a smart investment in both your organization and the nonprofit sector as a whole. As community needs grow and funding and accountability become more complex, well-prepared staff are essential to moving mission-driven work forward.
Ongoing learning builds the skills nonprofit professionals rely on every day—such as leadership, finance, governance, fundraising, and program evaluation. These skills help staff make thoughtful decisions, use resources wisely, and adapt to change, strengthening both programs and impact.

Grants in a Day: Reduced Tuition
|
To make this learning opportunity more accessible, we’ve reduced the cost of Grants in a Day. We recognize that professional development is not always covered in nonprofit budgets, and cost should not be a barrier to building essential grant writing skills. By lowering the price, our goal is to support nonprofit professionals at all stages and ensure more members of our community can participate.
This Learning Opportunity is being offered at no cost!
