Testimonials

What People Are Saying

I went in with the expectation of meeting new people, networking, and obtaining the tools needed to start a nonprofit organization. I feel the class truly equipped me with everything. I had my master’s degree with a concentration in nonprofit management, but that was nothing compared to the program at Nonprofit Austin.

Ashley Gooden-Stewart
CEO & Founder, The Baby Stewart Foundation

Nonprofits usually start from a place of passion. But for them to thrive and truly make an impact, they need a structure that can sustain them. The opportunities Nonprofit Austin provides to inform and support people, no matter where they are in their nonprofit journey, are invaluable and help strengthen our community.

Christine Albert
Founder & CEO, Swan Songs

Beyond the curriculum, what stood out most was the sense of community. From day one, I felt supported—not just by the facilitators, but by my classmates, who quickly became a source of strength, encouragement, and shared wisdom. It can be easy to feel isolated in nonprofit work, but this space reminded me that I’m not alone. I now feel more empowered, connected, and inspired than ever.
