Center for Nonprofit Excellence: Louisville and Southern Indiana

For 25 years, the Center for Nonprofit Excellence has stood at the heart of our region’s nonprofit community, helping organizations grow stronger, lead better, and serve more effectively. Since our founding, we have been guided by a single belief: that when nonprofits thrive, our entire community benefits in immeasurable ways. Now, we are sharing a difficult decision. CNPE will be closing its operations at the end of December. You can read more here: https://bit.ly/4o52OtG
