The
Iowa Nonprofit Resource Center is a University of Iowa interdisciplinary
collaboration to make more accessible educational and service programs
focused on strengthening the operational capacity of Iowa nonprofit
organizations. The Center works collaboratively with government
agencies, nonprofit organizations and educational institutions.
The Center creates new knowledge through research activities and
provides information and training resources to help nonprofit organizations
and interested persons throughout Iowa. We seek to build the capacity
and develop the effectiveness of community based organizations and
enhance the overall effectiveness of local organizations in building
communities. The Center also introduces students to the nonprofit
sector and develops their sense of public and community service.
