About the Nonprofit Management Academy The Nonprofit Management Academy was established in 1999 by Iowa State University in partnership with the United Way Management Assistance Program to enhance the management skills of those serving nonprofit human services groups, hospitals, government agencies, faith based organizations, private schools, art and cultural organizations, environmental groups, and others in the nonprofit sector. Distinguished representatives of the nonprofit sector have served as advisors in the process of developing this program. Through the Nonprofit Management Academy, participants can expect to gain new ideas, contacts and a network of professional support, new information and increased knowledge, and suggestions on how to apply the information presented in each course. About the Certificate Program To obtain a Certificate in Nonprofit Management, program participants must complete any combination of courses totaling six CEUs (continuing education units).
