MU Extension Offers No-Cost Technical Assistance for Missouri Nonprofits

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.
