Message from the Program Director
Cathy Gustafson

Nonprofit organizations work for the community. The cause may be human rights, the environment, the arts, human services, philanthropy, healthcare, or education; the mission is to transform people's lives.

The Hamline Master in Nonprofit Management (MNM) degree is dedicated to preparing professionals to meet the complex fiscal and operational challenges that are unique to the nonprofit sector.

Professionals in today's nonprofit organizations must acquire and master not only the theory and skills of nonprofit management but they must also stay current in their knowledge about best practices in order to better serve their multiple stakeholders. The new complexities and expectations from constituents and regulators make nonprofit challenges particularly unique. Boards of directors and nonprofit leaders are demanding professionals with master's degrees. The Master in Nonprofit Management degree educates and equips the younger professional who aspires to lead in the sector as well as the seasoned practitioner -- with the relevant skills and knowledge nonprofit organizations are demanding as they fill leadership deficits in many communities across the United States.
