“We know that Rhode Island nonprofits are working harder than ever – while challenged to do more with less – to meet the needs they see in our communities. This program leans on United Way’s motto that we can accomplish more by working together to improve the services that, ultimately, touch the lives of our neighbors and strengthen our state,” said Cortney Nicolato, President and CEO of UWRI.
The series is led by facilitator Michael Fournier, a retired nonprofit executive who consults organizations across Rhode Island and Massachusetts.

Focus areas include strategic planning and implementation, fund development, risk management, board engagement, marketing/communications, and emergency preparedness. Additionally, graduates of the program are able to apply their experience toward credits for a BA or MA at Roger Williams University’s School of Studies Community Development program.
