We know that organisations with well-skilled leaders can better serve their communities. Yet, in the not-for-profit sector, 33% of executives have no access to a designated training budget.
We want to ensure that not-for-profit leaders have access to the same professional development opportunities their private-sector counterparts enjoy.
Training and education that embrace diversity, inclusion and support for remote and regional communities is also a priority. Bringing together the expertise of industry, government, education partners and philanthropy has enabled us to facilitate fee-free and partially subsided training opportunities for NPF leaders and board directors to include specialist programs for women, indigenous communities and people living with a disability.
