The Nonprofit Learning Center:
Learning and innovation to help your nonprofit thrive.
The Nonprofit Learning Center was developed by Nancy Bacon and Margaret “Meps” Schulte. Nancy and Meps work at the intersection of nonprofits, adult learning, and communication to deliver learning experiences and tools that help people do things differently.
Nancy and Meps know nonprofits, having worn just about every nonprofit hat possible. They have served as executive director, program leader, board member, and community volunteer. We bring a deep understanding of the nonprofit challenges you face.
We combine that understanding with 25 years creating and delivering adult learning programs. We bring the latest research in adult learning to our work, honed through thousands of hours teaching nonprofit staff, board, and volunteers in workshops and webinars.
We’ve sat through way too many painful “info-dumps” — those classes and webinars where you spend time, but don’t actually learn anything useful. Like you, we knew there must be a better way.
Together, we developed a unique, action-focused instructional design process that we call “Aim for Action.” Our #1 goal is to help you move yourself and others to action. All materials on the Nonprofit Learning Center platform are carefully curated with this goal in mind.
Take a look at our courses, and you’ll see — we’re all about quality, not quantity. We do learning differently, so you and your team can do things differently.
