MU Extension offers no-cost technical assistance for Missouri nonprofits

COLUMBIA, Mo. – University of Missouri Extension now offers nonprofit technical assistance (NPTA) to help Missourians build stronger organizations to serve their communities.

This statewide initiative provides a range of educational services and resources to support the full life cycle of Missouri’s nonprofits, says Jonathan Mack, senior coordinator for MU Extension Business and Community.

Services and resources include:

• One-on-one technical assistance mini-sessions.
• Skill-building courses for nonprofit leaders.
• Access to a library of nonprofit resources.
• Referrals to programs and resources.

Topics covered range from starting and organizing a nonprofit – such as bylaws, incorporation, and leadership training – to growing and sustaining one through fundraising, marketing, grant writing, financial management and stakeholder engagement.

More information and access to services may be found at the MU Extension Nonprofit Technical Assistance webpage, at a county MU Extension center or by emailing nonprofitta@missouri.edu.

Services are intended for educational purposes only and do not constitute legal advice. For legal guidance on nonprofit matters, individuals should consult an attorney.
