Donating to NELI

The Nonprofit Executive Leadership Institute promotes innovative and effective leadership in the nonprofit sector.

Fernando Chang-Muy, JD, NELI Faculty

"Nonprofit staff do everything, from teaching kids to read, to reducing isolation with the elderly, pushing systems like hospitals, police, and public schools to change for the better. If nonprofit leaders can reflect on their own personal strengths and what makes their organizations and supervisors tick, this knowledge can be applied so as to provide effective services and advocacy. NELI provides nonprofit leaders with this awareness. That’s why I give." 

— Fernando Chang-Muy, J.D.
