    Summary

    India's booming nonprofit sector has the potential to make significant inroads into the region's challenges—from ensuring access to clean water, sanitation, and nutritious food to improving health care and education.

In this program, you will prepare to build a high-performance organization that can fulfill its mission, expand its scope, and achieve its potential for improving lives.
