Abstract
This paper describes the multi-pronged approach that a business school took to address the capacity needs of nonprofit organizations that provide health-related services to underserved community members. Supported by a generous grant from a foundation, the business school led several professional development and community capacity-building initiatives, including workshops and projects. Workshops were designed to enhance the skills and expertise of area nonprofit professionals who provide need-based services and programs to underserved populations. Faculty, alumni, and students worked together to address the challenges of local nonprofits. In addition, the business school hosted a conference that focused on the use of data by nonprofit professionals. Outcomes, challenges, and lessons learned are discussed.
