At NLI, we know most nonprofits are born from a sincere desire to help. That passionate concern is critical to an organization’s success. But passion alone is just not enough. You need powerful leadership, strong governance, and streamlined strategy. And a diverse, trained board that works with you, to deliver maximum impact.

NLI has a team of superior experts and coaches with decades of experience both working on boards personally, and in the leadership training and development of boards and community-minded professionals. Our experts have worked with some of the largest non-governmental organizations to some of the smallest nonprofits. And we keep our services affordable for every nonprofit budget.

Our Founder spent years watching so many organizations sadly fall short of their mission and goals. To help more succeed, his vision was to create an organization dedicated to providing board development and leadership growth for all levels of the nonprofit sector. Thus, NLI was founded in 2005. We believe that most “best practices” encouraged in the for-profit world have equally powerful application in the nonprofit environment. That means nonprofits should run like a successful business. And we can help you.
