NONPROFIT TRAININGS

Mission Capital provides workshops and trainings to nonprofit leaders, staff, and organizations looking to invest in their development and growth.

Our offerings range from the personal to the collective. Whether you’re an individual wanting to advance your leadership skills or a team looking to establish equitable policies and procedures, we can support you. Each workshop includes the opportunity to build relationships with other social sector leaders, practice applicable trainings in real-time, and engage in discussions and facilitation.

All of our courses are offered virtually, and some in-person, for more details visit our events calendar.

Most of our training courses are open to the public, but members receive a special rate on all opportunities!
