MANP SkillBuilders
MANP educational workshops are designed to build perspectives, skills and resources that enable nonprofit board and staff leaders to strengthen their organization's skills and capabilities. Typical workshop material is drawn from professional experience in both the private and nonprofit sectors and is presented through:

• Combined interactive and lecture-style programming, incorporating real-world examples
• Practical hands-on exercises
• Relevant handouts and tools

Conferences
MANP holds two statewide conferences a year, its Annual Conference in May, and a Board Governance conference in November that is co-sponsored with The Institute for Civic Leadership. In addition, MANP sponors Nonprofit Day at the State House each February. These events provide the perspectives of national and regional keynote speakers, informational sessions on relevant nonprofit management issues, and opportunities for networking with your nonprofit peers.

Funded Partnerships
Foundations, corporations and government agencies call on The Maine Association of Nonprofits (MANP) to develop and implement capacity building initiatives. These programs bring the most up-to-date knowledge and trends to nonprofit leaders. They center on the belief that interaction between peers is a highly effective approach to learning key leadership and management skills, encouraging innovation and collaboration -- and using these networks to develop a ‘solutions-based’ approach to social issues.
